: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action was heads-up to the completed board showing 6♦2♦J♣3♣2♥. Chris Moorman checked to Dan Heimiller on his left, who slid out a bet of 44,000.
After taking some time, Moorman tossed in the call. Heimiller tabled K♥K♦ for two pair, good enough to pad his stack as Moorman mucked his hand.

Sebastian Crane opened to 12,000 in middle position and had one sole caller - Sean Lee in the big blind.
Lee checked the flop 9♠4♠A♣ prompting Crane to continue with a 20,000 bet. Lee called.
The 5♥ dropped and Lee checked again. Crane fired a hefty 66,000. When Lee calmly called, Crane did an eye-roll and looked visibly perplexed, looking at Lee with a questioning look.
Finally, the 10♦ fell on the river and after the third check from Lee, Crane jammed 90,000 to the middle of the table leaving one 1,000 chip behind and sending Lee to the tank.
Lee was deep in thought, looking like he'd call by separating the 90,000, then putting it back. After doing this about three times, he shook his head and threw his cards to the muck pile.
Crane claimed that he had ace-seven and was praying that no more spades came out. Lee replied, "Ace-seven is good."
