There were 135,000 chips in the middle in a heads up pot between Robert McDowell in early position and Jamie Whyte in the cutoff. McDowell checked on the 3♣4♠2♠ flop, after which Whyte made a bet of 40,000. McDowell made the call and the 4♠ was turned.
Another check followed from McDowell and Whyte bet 75,000 chips this time. McDowell spent a few minutes in the tank before complying with a call, after which the A♠ river completed the board.
After a third check from McDowell, Whyte shipped all in for his remaining 135,000 chips and received a snap call from his opponent. McDowell showed 5♦5♣ for the rivered straight, but it was no good against the A♥4♥ of Whyte, who rivered a full house.
McDowell was left with just 7,000 chips, but he doubled up twice in the next two hands to still be in contention for the title.

Stacks were already in the middle and cards on their back as Shaun Dooley was all-in and at risk versus Huy Hang.
Shaun Dooley: A♥10♠
Huy Hang: 9♠9♦
Dooley needed some help and thought he had received it after the 6♦10♥4♦ flop put him into the lead with a pair of tens.
However the 9♥ turn left Dooley drawing dead after Hang hit his set, rendering the A♦ river irrelevant.
