Pesce bet again when checked to on the 8♦ turn. Rogers raised and Pesce called. Both players then checked the 3♠ river.

Rogers showed a flopped straight with 10♣9♣ which was enough to take the pot, leaving Pesce with under two big bets.

Pesce was in the big blind a few hands later and committed the last of his chips with Jx7x. He was up against Daniel Makowsky who had AxJx and held with the best hand to eliminate Pesce.
