On a heads-up turn of 2♠8♦4♣K♠, there were around 8,000 chips in the middle when Rodney Danger led for 4,000 and was called by Michael Briggs.
When the river fell the 8♠, Danger fired again for 6,000 but then Briggs moved all in to cover.
After around twenty seconds in the tank, Danger made the call and heard those sweet, sweet words...
"Aghh, you're good."
Briggs turned over A♥5♥ for just ace-high while Danger tabled A♠A♦ for the biggest two-pair to take down the huge pot early in Level 1.
Briggs was then left very short and exited soon after.
