After Justin Macella limped with {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Russell Quick raised to 250,000 with {a-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Macella called.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} giving Quick top pair, top kicker. He bet 375,000 and Macella called with his overcards and backdoor straight draw.

The turn hit Macella with the {j-Spades}, now giving him top pair.

Quick moved all in for 2,635,000 and after a brief bit of thought, Macella called.

The high school football coach just needed to fade an ace or eight on the river to win the title.

The dealer dropped the {q-Hearts} on the river sealing the victory for Macella and sending Quick home with $81,343 for his 2nd place effort.
