Anton Morgenstern has a substantially bigger stack than earlier and was kind enough to relate what had happened before the break:
He had opened from under the gun with 
and the player in the early position three-bet. The players in mid-position and the lojack called and so did Morgenstern.
They all checked through the 
on the flop to the 
on the turn. Morgenstern and the player in the early position checked again. The mid-position player bet half the pot which the lojack snap-called. Morgenstern also called while the early position player folded.
The river completed the board with the 
for Morgenstern to hit a pair on the river. He checked again and so did the mid-position player. The lojack bet half the pot and Morgenstern called, strongly believing his opponent was bluffing. The mid-position player tanked and then folded (claiming he folded a king afterward). Morgenstern was right to make the call as the lojack held 
for the missed flush draw and this pot took Morgenstern to over 400,000.
