Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Evan Sayer in the small blind and Von Altziner on the button were the only two players left after the third draw.

Sayer led into Altziner who responded with a raise. Far from discouraging Sayer, he came back over the top with a re-raise. Altziner then re-popped that bet and Sayer again came back over the top.

At this point, Altziner wanted to up the stakes even more but was informed by the dealer that, when only two players are left in a hand, action is capped at five bets. As a result, Altziner called and showed down for the wheel and Sayer, laughing, flipped over a wheel of his own to chop up the pot.
