. Dalessandri continued out with 3,000 chips, which Driscoll called.

Fourth street came the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

, and both men checked.

The river card was the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

. Dalessandri once again fired, this time with 3,500 chips. Driscoll put in a small raise to 7,500, which was enough to cover his opponent. Dalessandri did indeed call off his final 6,950 chips. Driscoll turned over {A-?}

{A-?}

{7-?}

for two pair, aces up. Needing to win the pot to survive, Dalessandri tabled {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}
