With a pot of about 3,000 already brewing and the completed board reading 
, Matt Affleck bet 2,000 from the hijack and his opponent on the button briefly went into the tank. She ultimately called and Affleck somewhat reluctantly tabled 
for a pair of eights. While neither player held a heart for a flush, the button flipped over 
for a flopped set of deuces and it was still good enough to win the pot.
