Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

There was close to 50,000 in the pot already on a {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} board to the turn when Toronto, Ontario, Canada's Jeff Thibideau jammed for 53,500, heads-up with David Battaglia.

Battaglia made the call with the {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and was right, Thibideau had a gutshot and two overs with the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The river came the {8-Hearts}, making Thibideau the nut straight.

Battaglia was left stunned as Thibideau moved into a spot at the top of the counts heading into the last two levels of the flight.
