The action was picked up with the river left to come on a board of 5♦10♦J♥9♣.

Ryan Thoresen and Jay Kerbel, two of the chip leaders with more than 1,000,000 chips each, had just pushed all of their chips into the pot with Kerbel's tournament life resting on the outcome.

Jay Kerbel: A♠10♣8♦7♥2♠All in
Ryan Thoresen: A♥K♥Q♥2♥2♣

With one card to come, Thoresen had a king-high straight against Kerbel's bottom straight to the jack.

Thoresen asked, "Do you have the flush draw?"

Alas, Kerbel did not. So the 6♦ on the river was meaningless and Thoresen scooped the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.
