James St. Hilaire open-raised from the button for 50,000, and Jonas Wexler -- fresh off winning that big hand just before to knock out David Chiu -- reraised to 113,000 from the big blind. St. Hilaire came back over the top for 599,000 total, and Wexler called instantly.

Wexler showed {A-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

, while St. Hilaire had {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

. The flop came {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

, and Wexler was still good. But the turn was the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, and suddenly Wexler was looking for a king. The river was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

, and St. Hilaire is now up to 1.2 million while Wexler falls back again to 680,000.
