Spencer Champlin and Michael Dichiaro went heads up to the {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and Dichiaro continued with a bet of 200,000 into a main pot of over 300,000.

Champlin moved all in covering Dichiaro who had over 600,000 sending Dichiaro deep into the tank.

"This is a really tough spot" said Dichiaro as he leaned back in his chair and glanced across the table at Champlin.

After giving it plenty of thought Dichiaro folded and Champlin scooped the pot to move over a million.

The {q-Clubs} turn and {9-Diamonds} river improved the player to a full house and Wong was sent to the rail.
