Ryan Fair raised on the button, Pfizer Jordan called in the big blind, and the two took a flop of {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Jordan checked, Fair continued for 175,000, and Jordan check-raised to 420,000. Fair moved all in for 1.235 milion, and Jordan made the call.

Fair: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}
Jordan: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

"It's like a race," Fair joked.

Fair needed some help to catch up, and the {10-Hearts} on the turn was just that. Suddenly he was ahead with tens and threes, and improved to tens and eights when the {8-Clubs} completed the board.

The dealer cut down the stacks, and Jordan was left with 160,000.

"Remember [Greg] Merson?" he said, smiling.

True enough, Merson was reduced was reduced to two big blinds in the 2012 WSOP Main Event before storming back and winning.
