Rob Sherwood raises UTG+1 to 4,000, and Asish Ghosh calls from the big blind.

Both players check to the turn on a board of 8♣ 6♠ 2♣ 7♥ , Ghosh bets 3,500, and Sherwood calls.

The river card is the Q♠ , Ghosh bets 6,500, and Sherwood calls. Ghosh quickly mucks his cards to forfeit, and Sherwood wins the pot without showing his cards.
