A player in early position opened with a raise to 75,000, Iaron Lightbourne called from middle position, and the player on the button three-bet to 250,000. The original raiser called and Lightbourne called, as well.
The flop came 
and action checked to the button who bet 500,000. The early-position player folded and Lightbourne slid out a stack of T-100,000 chips, putting his opponent to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He went into the tank and the clock was eventually called. Ultimately, the button called to put himself at risk and the two players tabled their hands.
Lightbourne: 
Button: 
Lightbourne was way ahead with his flopped set and his opponent needed a lot of help from the deck in order to double up. The 
on the turn further improved Lightbourne to tens full, the 
on the river changed nothing, and Lightbourne took the pot.
