Derek Dempster moved ahead with some strong moves before Rich Alsup completed from the button and Dempster raised it to 500,000. Alsup called and the flop came {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

Dempster led for 500,000 and Alsup pushed all in. Dempster quickly called and was miles ahead with the {q-Spades}{10-Spades} over Alsup's {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. The turn came the {4-Hearts}, changing nothing, but the river was the {8-Hearts}, making Alsup trips and handing him the biggest pot of the tournament.

Left with just 420,000 in chips, Dempster shipped those two big blinds in the very next hand with the {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and got the call from Alsup on the {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

The board ran out {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and once again, Alsup had the best of it, four-flushing Dempster's hopes down the drain and winning the 2015 MSPT Meskwaki Main Event.
