Picking things up after the first draw Zack Freeman checked and Dustin Dirksen bet. John Hennigan, who in the previous hand had let out a startled scream as he thought the dealer was about to turn over a flop when he was in fact delivering three cards to Ryan Goindoo, moved all in for 40,000. Both opponents called and each player drew one.

Freeman check-called again after the second draw and drew one with Hennigan and Dirksen stood pat. Freeman then check-folded after the third draw and Dirksen showed 7♦ / 6♠5♥4♦2♣ for a seven low and six badugi to best the six-time bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer's A♣ / 9♠7♥5♦4♣.
