With the final board reading {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, defending champion James Dempsey fired 7,800 into a pot of approximately 10,000. His opponent tanked for a bit and then made the call. Dempsey showed pocket threes, which meant he was playing the board. His opponent tabled the {J-Spades}{10-Spades} and won the pot.

Dempsey slipped back to 15,000 in chips.
