Gus Hansen raised in the small blind, and Eric Wasserson defended his big blind. Hansen continued with a bet on the 2♠5♠4♦ flop, which Wasserson raised.
Hansen called, after which the K♥ turn and A♦ river were knuckled to showdown. Hansen declared queen-high, prompting Wasserson to table J♣2♣ for a pair.
The next hand, Phil Ivey raised in the cutoff, getting small blind Wasserson and Roy Thung in the big blind along to a Q♦10♠3♠ flop. Ivey placed a continuation-bet, Wasserson check-raised, and Thung check-folded.
Ivey called to the Q♣ turn, where he raised Wasserson's bet. Wasserson called, seeing the 5♠ appear on the river. A quick check, bet, and call followed.
Wasserson announced a queen for trips. Ivey also had a queen, but his K♠Q♠ had become a flush to rake in the pot and cross the two-million mark.
