Stancer spiked his ace on the 
flop, and though some spade outs provided a glimmer of hope for McMurray with the 
turn, the 
river sealed his fate.

After a couple of walks, and small flop continuation-bet wins (one apiece), a pot of over a million brewed between the final two players. Daniel Stancer raised to 200,000 on the button and Ali Ahmed called. Ahmed check-raised Stancer's bet of 150,000 on the 
flop to the tune of 450,000; Stancer called. Both players checked the turn. Ahmed led out for 750,000 on the 
river, and Stancer quickly threw in one chip signifying a call.
"King high," announced Ahmed; Stancer won the pot with second pair: .
