We caught up to the action on seventh street to see a series of bets on the table. James Van Alstyne and Mike Wattel were both dealt their final card and Wattel checked his option. Van Alstyne fired out one last bet and Wattel took his time calling.
Van Alstyne showed 
for a straight and a low which was enough to scoop the pot. Wattel mucked and Van Alstyne boosted his stack to around 96,000.
