From middle position, Sterling Savill got his last 234,000 chips into the pot with 
. Jim Harnden flatted in the hijack, and the action came around to Matthew O'Brien in the small blind. He wanted to play for more. A small reraise to 500,000 seemed in order, and Harnden spent a long while deliberating before surrendering to let Savill sweat it heads-up.
When O'Brien turned up 
, Savill stood from his chair and pleaded with the dealer to help him out. The 
flop was as blank as it gets, but the 
turn kept Savill's hopes alive with five outs to the win. He couldn't get there, though. The river 
is the last card he'll see today, and the next piece of paper he's dealt will be a check worth $26,930.
