Ryan Hoenig raised to 100,000 on the button and Philip Sternheimer called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♣8♠J♠ and Hoenig bet 75,000. Sternheimer called to the 7♣ turn, where Hoenig bet another 350,000. Sternheimer again called.
The 8♥ fell on the river and Hoenig moved all in. Sternheimer had 1,100,000 remaining and went deep into the tank.
"Will you show if I fold, Ryan?" Sternheimer asked.
"No," Hoenig replied, shaking his head.
"I have a straight. I also have blockers to a full house," Sternheimer added. Several minutes went by before he called and Hoenig showed Q♠10♦9♥5♦ for the nut straight. Sternheimer mucked J♣7♥6♣5♣ (nine-high straight) and was sent to the rail in third place.
Hoenig and Dylan Smith are taking a 10-minute break before beginning heads-up play.
