Kamel Aziz Hits Quads to KO Vijai Santhanam

After an open by Thai Ha to 250,000, Vijai Santhanam shoves all in for 1,425,000 and then Kamel Aziz moves all in for slightly more. 

Ha thinks it over for a second before he lets his hand go and the cards are tabled. 

Aziz rolls over Q♠Q♥ and is up against the A♣K♠ of Santhanam for the classic flip situation. 

Unfortunately for Santhanam, a queen appears right in the window to give Aziz a huge lead on the flop of Q♣8♣6♥.

Only a running flush or straight could save Santhanam, but the runout of K♥Q♦ only improved Aziz to QUADS to claim the pot while Santhanam exited.
