On a heads-up flop of 7♣7♠6♣, Jeff Copeland checked to Brandon Dirnberger, who bet 50,000, but then Copeland check-raised all in to cover.
After thinking it over for a few seconds, Dirnberger made the call to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.
Brandon Dirnberger: 9♦9♥
Jeff Copeland: 4♣8♣
Dirnberger was in the lead with his nines, but the turn Q♣ immediately gave Copeland the upper hand with a flush.
Only a nine on the river could save Dirnberger, but it was the brick J♠ and he was sent to the rail while Copleland was awarded the pot.

The flop of 7♠5♣K♠ made it a good sweat, but the runout of 4♦J♦ kept aces in the lead and the huge pot was shipped over to Maurer to put him over the 1,000,000 mark.
