Scott Montgomery opened for 350,000, Nicholas Sliwinski moved all in, Ylon Schwartz flat-called from the big blind and Montgomery folded.

Sliwinski {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Schwartz {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The flop was {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, no help for Sliwinski, but the{J-Spades} spiked on the turn, pairing up Sliwinski. Sliwinski's cheering section erupted in shrieks and screams, the loudest of which came from a tall, leggy blonde who ran up to embrace him. The river was the {3-Clubs} and Sliwinski doubled up to 7.2 million. Schwartz dropped to 7.7 million.

"Thank you, dealer!" screamed the blonde as Sliwinski re-took his seat.
