Ivens was holding {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Bancroft had {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Bancroft was holding on to the lead on the {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} flop. The turn was an absolute blank, but the river was the {A-Diamonds} that awarded Ivens with the 900,000 pot.

Bancroft collected almost $30,000 for his 12th place finish.
