Benny Glaser was on the button and raised to 750,000. Travis Pearson called in the big blind, and the dealer fanned a flop of 9♥J♦4♠, which both players checked.

The 3♠ turn saw Glaser fire 1,400,000 after Pearson had checked for a second time. Pearson quickly called before the 10♠ river was knuckled to showdown.

Pearson tabled 10♥10♦4♥2♦ for a set of tens.

"I should've bet the flop," Glaser lamented, as he tossed his cards into the muck and surrendered the pot.
