Heads Up

In the first hand of heads-up play, Billy Cashwell raised to 550,000 on the button. Forrest Raleigh three-bet to 1,750,000 in the big blind and Cashwell called. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Raleigh continued with a bet which Cashwell called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Raleigh shoved all in, putting Cashwell to the test for his remaining stack of just over 9 million. Cashwell went into the tank for over two minutes and eventually decided to flick his cards to the muck.
