Both players in the blinds got to a flop cheaply, as Bobbi Harrell limped from the small blind, and Jason Duong checked his option.
On a flop of A♠5♦6♠ Harrell led out, and Duong called, bringing in the 4♥ turn. This time, Harrell checked it over, and Duong went for a bet, which was in turn called by Harrell.
The river 2♠ brought checks from both players, and Harrell flipped over 7♦9♥ announcing "I missed". Duong, who was reluctant to turn over his cards at first, incredibly turned over 8♥9♦ to take down the pot with nothing but a better nine-high than his opponent.
