USA! USA! USA!

Steve Chanthabouasy raised to 80,000, and James Dempsey called. The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and Dempsey checked. Chanthabouasy bet 100, and Dempsey quickly check-raised to 265,000. Just as fast, Chanthabouasy moved all in. Dempsey called with {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for top two pair. But it wasn't good enough to best Chanthabouasy's {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for the flopped straight. The {9-Clubs} on the turn and {j-Diamonds} on the river didn't change anything, and Chanthabouasy doubled up again, taking over the chip lead for the first time during the heads-up match and dropping Dempsey below 1 million.

As Chanthabouasy stacked his chips, his fans broke out into a "USA! USA! USA!" chant.
