Zaremba Doubles Through Derwiche

Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Imad Derwiche checked from under the gun on a flop of 5?A?K?. Daniel Zaremba then added 13,000 to a pot of 18,000, which Derwiche raised to 30,000.
Zaremba tossed in a call and the J? hit the turn. Zaremba's 111,000 remaining chips quickly flew in as the players revealed their cards.
Daniel Zaremba: Q?10?J?7?
Imad Derwiche: A?K?4?3?
Zaremba had turned the nut straight. The board did not pair on the 8? river, leaving Derwiche with an inferior two pair as he paid Zaremba his double-up.
