Michael Falk: J♠8♠/8♦3♦9♥7♦/Xx
Jeffrey Gibson: 10♦6♥/4♥2♥5♦3♣/Xx
Falk check-called a bet from Gibson on fourth and fifth street.
Sixth street rolled around and Falk checked over to Gibson once more, who bet 28,000 effective to put Falk all in. He deliberated for some time before putting his last chips at risk, only to see the bad news that Gibson had made a straight.
Seventh street did not fill out Falk's straight as he peeled a K♠ on seventh while Gibson peeled an 8♥ as a mere formality.
Both players shook hands as Gibson was awarded the pot and the title.
