Matt Shanahan had been torturing Dennis Fleig with a series of thin value bets on the river.
Fleig paid off bets after Shanahan made a small flush and a straight to dip under 100,000. Shanahan's lead appeared to be ever increasing through Fleig.
Then suddenly, Fleig got it in with a pair and an open ender versus Shanahan's top two pair. Fleig turned a better two pair to double up back into contention.
