Showdown
| Zeitlin |   |
| Erickson |   |
The 
flop was pretty perfect for Zeitlin, but the 
on the turn gave both players the exact same hand.
"King!" someone on the rail shouted.
The 
spiked on the river, giving Zeitlin the best hand again, and eliminating Erickson from the tournament. The rail erupted in cheers, and Erickson and Zeitlin gave each other a big hug.
The two friends are on a short, ten-minute break, and when they resume they'll be playing for $191,194, the ring, and a seat in the $1 million National Championship.
