The hand was in progress with two players looking at a flop of KQ10 and a pot of around 65,000. Philip Restivo check-called after Mark Kawamoto fired 23,000 in the pot.

Restivo decided to lead on the A turn for 75,000, which Kawamoto called after a few seconds. The 2 river dropped and Restivo announced he was all in without any hesitation. After asking to see Restivo's chips, Kawamoto called, putting his opponent at risk.

Restivo declared "I have two pair," but Kawamoto didn't respond, waiting for him to show first. Restivo showed AK for top two pair, which didn't beat Kawamoto's straight with AJ, eliminating Restivo in the process.
