The heads up action was picked up on a board of 
with around 9,000 in the pot. The cutoff led out for 5,000. Brent Roberts, in the big blind, raised to 13,500. After a bit of deliberation, his opponent made the call.
On the 
river, Roberts continued, tossing 50,000 into the middle. His opponent, with only around 21,000 behind, would have to put himself at risk to make the call. After several minutes in the tank, he made that call.
Roberts turned over 
for the turned straight. His opponent pushed his cards towards the dealer, who began to sweep them into the muck, before realizing they must be shown as it was an all-in call, and turned over 
. The pot was awarded to Roberts, who is now over double the starting stack.
