Dean Lyall looked down at 8♠8♣ under the gun and raised to 400,000. David Stamm defended 9♠5♠ in the big blind and the two saw a flop of J♦K♥7♥ appear on the table.
Stamm checked to Lyall, who checked back. Another round of checks followed on the A♥ turn before the 4♠ river completed the board.
Stamm fired 250,000 chips in the middle with just nine-high, which was enough to let Lyall fold his pocket pair.
