Ariel Mantel completed, Brian Tate raised, Mantel responded with a three-bet, and Tate called.
Mantel then bet fourth street, with Tate calling. Mantel paired on fifth street, but he still bet once Tate had checked. Tate called to sixth street, where he led out with a bet when Mantel caught a king.
Mantel called to seventh street, where he called another bet by Tate.
"King-jack," Tate announced. Mantel gathered his cards to toss them towards the muck, but he decided to spread them on the table to make sure he was not winning the hand.
This move won him the pot, as he had made a king-seven low to rake in the sizable pot. Mantel apologized to Tate as he was awarded the chips, but Tate took no offense and play continued.
