Peter Nigh moved all in from the button and after about 45 seconds Pierre Shum made the call with a covering stack.

Peter Nigh: A♠8♦
Pierre Shum: Q♣2♣

"We need a queen or a two!" Shum told his rail before the board ran out.

Shum smashed the Q♠Q♦7♥ flop and held on the J♦ turn and 5♦ river to win his first WSOP gold bracelet while Nigh's deep run came to an end with a second place finish.

Stay tuned for a full recap including the winner's reaction that will follow shortly.
