This pot has been brewing for a long while, but we couldn't guess just how awesome it would be.
Mike Morton started the action by completing from the small blind, and John Riordan raised to 255,000 from the big. Morton called, and he checked in the dark as the dealer flopped 
. Riordan's 300,000-chip continuation bet was quickly called, and the 
landed on the turn. Morton checked normally this time, and he called another bet from Riordan, 800,000 this time.
With a big pot already piled in the middle, Morton checked in the dark once again, and the 
filled out the board. Riordan announced his bet: all in. Morton quickly called off all 2.405 million of his own chips, and Riordan confidently tabled his 
, having made Broadway on the last card.
Riordan wasn't the only one who hit the river, though. Morton proudly tabled his 
, and his spade flush takes the biggest pot of the day. It's 7.55 million now in Morton's corner, an impressive feat from where he started this final table.
Riordan has relinquished the chip lead for the first time in seemingly ages, sliding all the way back to 3.9 million.
