"$100 if You Don't Put Paint Up There!"

With the board reading {9-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} {A-Diamonds} Christian Oman got the rest of his chips in the middle vs. Paul Lieu. Oman held {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}, but Lieu had turned two pair with {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs}.

As the dealer was about to burn and turn the river, Lieu reached into his wallet and offered the dealer $100 if he didn't put paint on the river. The dealer pulled the {10-Clubs} out of the deck, sealing the hand for Lieu, who happily forked over the Benjamin as the ESPN cameras recorded the entire incident.

Oman was eliminated, while Lieu is up to 650,000 in chips.
