Like most pots have been so far in the heads-up battle, the final one went to the flop without a raise. Jesse Hale had the button and the flop came down {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. Dennis Meierotto checked his option first and then Hale followed right behind with a check.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts} and Meierotto announced "All in." Hale checked his hand and then asked for a count. The dealer broke down the chips and let Hale know the total all-in bet was for 136,000.

Hale stared at his cards as he held them up in front of his face. After about a minute went by, Hale announced "Call!"

Showdown:
Hale: {A-Spades} {7-Hearts}
Meierotto: {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds}

Hale needed to dodge a five or a six on the river to take down the event. The dealer slowly burned and slowly turned over the last card... the {7-Diamonds}! That would be it, Hale's hand held up and Meierotto was eliminated in 2nd place, earning $62,790 for his finish.

Jesse Hale, the skydiving instructor and coach from Texas, took home first place along with $113,020, the gold championship ring, and a buy in to the 2009 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas!
