Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Level 12: Blinds- 2,000/4,000/4,000 Big Blind Ante
A player from middle position raised to 8,000, and was called by Derek Stark in the small blind.
Both players checked after the 2♥3♠4♦ flop, which brought the A♣ on the turn. Stark then check-called a bet of 8,000.
After the 9♦ on the river, Stark again check-called a bet, this time for 20,000. The middle position player showed Q♠8♠ for a pair of eights, but Stark had the winner with A♠6♠ to take the pot with his pair of aces.
