On a flop of {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} {10-Spades}, Stefan Hansen and Adrian Marin waged a raising war, ending with Marin all in and at-risk. He had warned Hansen that he had the best hand, and that would prove to be the case. He showed {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, his two pair in fine shape for a double up against the {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} of Hansen.

Disaster would strike on the turn, though; the {Q-Spades} peeled off the deck to vault Hansen into the lead and leave Marin drawing to two outs to stay alive. Like a bolt of lightning, the {10-Diamonds} somehow spiked the river, re-improving Marin to the winning tens full. The two players exchanged wide-eyed looks as neither could believe how that hand played out.

When the dust settled, Hansen was knocked down to about 290,000, while Marin's double shoots him up over the 400,000-chip mark
