Big O
In a limped pot to the 3♠7♠10♣ flop, Travis Pearson checked from the big blind to Benny Glaser on the button, who bet 500,000. Pearson then raised to 2,400,000, and Glaser called after some thought.
Pearson continued firing on the 2♠ turn, putting 3,100,000 in the middle. Glaser shoved all in in response, and Pearson snap-called.
Benny Glaser: K♠9♦9♠6♠4♣ 
Travis Pearson: A♣Q♠8♥5♠5♦
Pearson's rail erupted in cheers as the Q♣ river rolled off. Pearson went to them to celebrate his victory, but Glaser kindly informed them he had a king-high flush for half the pot.
"I thought I won," Pearson said as he explained he thought Glaser had a nine-high flush. Instead, Pearson was only awarded the low part of the pot as the heads up battle continued.
