There has been a lot of back and forth across the final three tables and not many showdowns to note. That was until just now, in a hand between James Mackey and Eric Blair.

All the community cards were out and they read {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. Mackey had checked to Blair, who made it 128,000 to play, which was more than the pot. After some time mulling it over, Mackey made the call and took down the pot with {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} vs Blair's {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}. More than one player at the table agreed that Mackey's call was a good one.
