Nikolas Stone put in a standard raise from under the gun and was called by Matt Keikoan on the button. Both blinds got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop. Stone check-called a bet of 100,000, bringing about the {9-Clubs} turn.

Stone checked once again, but this time he check-raised Keikoan's bet of 200,000 up to 600,000. Keikoan thought for a few moments before moving all in, and Stone snap-called.

Showdown
Keikoan: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Stone: {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Stone held the nuts with a queen-high straight, but Keikoan held a set and could still win if the board paired on the end. The crowd was on its feet as the dealer burned and put out the {7-Diamonds}. Keikoan collected his card protector and exited in fourth place, good for $137,485.
