On a flop of T♣5♥9♥, all of the chips between James Martin and Varadarajan Iyengar get into the middle, with Martin covering. 

Martin flips over 5♣6♦ and is currently ahead of the A♣Q♥ held by Iyengar. Martin is two cards away from winning the tournament by the runout of 7♦Q♠ gives Iyengar a queen on the river to score a crucial double. 

Iyenger - 11,300,000  
Martin - 12,500,000
