Chuck McCormick called bets on every street from Ram Vaswani, last year's champion of this same event. The board was {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. Vaswani's last 1,000 went in on the turn and McCormick called.

McCormick held {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs} and Vaswani had {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. The river jack gave McCormick the win as he defeated last year's champion.
