No-Limit Hold'em
The small blind, Steve Jelinek, was forced all in, and Alex Foxen opened the action from middle position with a raise to 60,000 before it folded to Scott Stinson in the cutoff, who three-bet all in for 710,000.
It folded back to Foxen, who gave it a quick thought before mucking, to leave the players heads-up, with Stinson at risk.
Scott Stinson: 9♠9♦
Steve Jelinek: J♦J♣
Stinson woke up with a big hand after being forced all in but was still crushed by the jacks of Jelinek. The board ran out Q♣5♠3♣6♣Q♦ to knock out Stinson.
