In the final hand of the level, Baker completed with a three and Hennigan called with a deuce. Baker bet fourth and was called before a bet on fifth forced a fold from Hennigan.

"I am too deep, let's bag up," Baker said when tournament staff asked whether or not the duo would like to continue for another hour to play down to a champion. Hennigan agreed and they will be back in their seats at 2 p.m. local time with one hand left in Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo.
