Pat Steele raised to 65,000 in the cutoff and in the big blind, Andrew Olive called.
The flop rolled out Q♣6♠4♦ and Olive check-called a bet of 85,000 from Steele.
Both players checked the turn 7♣ to the river 5♦ where Olive bet 250,000. Steele opted to raise to 615,000, which sent Olive into the tank.
"I don't have an eight," said Olive as he tossed his hand away. "I have the other one."
Steele raked in the pot as he narrowed the gap between himself and Olive.

Andrew Olive called on the button to see Alec Magdan in the small blind call and Jacob Baumgartner in the big blind checked his option.
The flop rolled out Q♠9♥9♦ and action checked through to the turn 6♥ where Magdan led out for 60,000. Baumgartner raised to 175,000 to see Olive fold and Magdan replied with a raise to 425,000, earning a call from Baumgartner.
Magdan bet 1,200,000 on the river K♠ and Baumgartner sat up in his chair as he pondered his decision.
"This would be a good one to show," Baumgartner said as he flashed a 9♣, tossing his hand away.
A smile crept across Magdan's face as he tabled 10♥8♥ for just ten high as he added on a pot to his growing stack.
