: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Opponent: 
Paul Balzano: 
Balzano already had his opponent crushed, but the 
flop gave him a set, meaning his opponent would need running kings or running hearts to stay alive. Neither came though, instead the 
runout paired the board, improving Balzano's set to a full house.
