We had two poker superstars in Surinder Sunar and Benjamin Roberts, who suffered from a very unlucky draw by having Surinder to his left, who not only had position on him but was the chipleader as well.
A jack came on the flop that seemed to pave the way for a heads up duel between Surinder and Nicky, but a ten came on the turn to not just keep Ben alive, but to make him the chipleader, holding 50% of the chips in play.
Surinder decided to let his A2 go, but Benjamin excited the crowd by showing 65, a six-high.

When this event is televised next March, you may notice that even after he won, Surinder barely smiled; he was in an odd sort of zone in which his concentration was so fixated that it was barely possible to let go and celebrate the victory.
Surinder is also close to his older brother, Onkar, for whom he has the utmost respect.
Although Surinder explained his win as simply getting lucky, statistics will show that his answer was a classy one, but not necessarily accurate.

He was able to win uncontested on two occasions, one time by coming over the top of Benjamin's raise before the flop.
It seemed likely the two titans would opt for some kind of deal, as the difference between first and second place would be more than $35,000 (87,912 guilders), but they played on in a very concentrated manner.
Yet another coin flip, and it was the lucky Benjamin who was able to collect the $70,000 first prize money -if not all of it then still a big part-, and the trophy and the golden money clip for the winner as well.

 WPT Five Star Down to the Final Six | Poker News
To describe Sunar's current chip stack as short was to be disrespectful to the big blind.
Sadly, for him, like all topgun pilots, flying close to the edge carries high risks and he took a big hit to the side losing a huge pot holding a pair of queens that failed to stand up in a showdown.
Like Sunar, he did recover some ground before crashing out with the better hand - better that is before the dealer put out the turn and river cards.
