On the turn of a {9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board, a string of bets between Scott Murawa and Joe King had the former all in and at risk. Murawa had paired the ace with {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and got it in but King had flopped a set with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The largest pot of the tournament was created and was ushed towards King when the {2-Clubs} fell on the river.
