Jack Effel announces that it's time to deal the second hand of hand-for-hand play. Ted Forrest was the only player eliminated in that round.

The hold-up? With the board showing {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, the small blind bets 225,000, enough to put his opponent all in. His opponent thinks for several long minutes before folding, and the small blind shows A-8 for the bluff. The small blind was taking advantage of tight play on the money bubble.
