James Traber opened the betting, sliding out 70,000. In middle position Rodney Spriggs takes a few moments before announcing a call. Kenny Baggett made the call as did Steve Seffense in the small blind. After taking a moment, Mike Marn in the big blind announced all-in.

The initial raiser, Traber, went in the tank for nearly five minutes before folding. Spriggs, took a few minutes, as well, finally announcing a call. Baggett quickly folded and then it was Steve Seffense who took a turn tanking.

It was then that Spriggs started talking. Saying "that's how you win tournaments boys," and making other comments triggered a reaction. Traber started complaining, saying to the floor "he can't talk during the hand" and that his talk is influencing action. The floor told Spriggs to not talk about cards and the hand in general but he can talk about anything else.

Eventually Seffense folded and the cards were turned over.

Mike Marn: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Rodney Spriggs: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} to give Marn a massive double up.
