Michael “IIIIIIIIIIIII” Haberman:
The turn had put Lillis behind and he needed to hit either an ace or a trey on the river as a five would give Haberman a higher straight. The river boated up both players, leaving Lillis' hand second best to Haberma's higher full house. Lillis was eliminated from the tournament, finishing second place for a combined payout of $6,143.
