Chino Rheem opened to 100,000 in the cutoff and Jeremy Ausmus three-bet jammed in the small blind. Kent Stephens then called off in the big blind as Rheem got out of the way.

Kent Stephens: 1010 All in
Jeremy Ausmus: AK

It looked like a double up was coming to the player from Utah as the board began J54J. But the river brought the K to give Ausmus the winner as Stephens was sent to the rail in seventh place for $18,600.
