Echols quickly rolled over for queens and sixes and it was good enough to scoop the pot.

Action on the table folded to WSOP bracelet winner Bradley Jansen who raised all in for a rough starting stack from the button and Loren Rice snap-called from the big blind.
Bradley Jansen:
Loren Rice:
Jansen didn't like who what he saw as Rice woke-up with ace in the big blind and the flop didn't change a thing.
The turn left Jansen drawing dead as it gave rice a set of aces and the dealer dropped the on the river just for good measure.
