WSOP bracelet winner Alexandre Reard raised in early position, and Stephen Sakai flatted on the button.

The flop produced 48A, which Reard checked. Sakai bet and Reard called, resulted in the dealer placing 2 on the turn. Both players checked, and the fireworks began on the river after Reard moved all in.

Sakai pondered the bet, taking his time, and then called.

Reard: 88
Sakai: Ax10x

Sakai briefly showed his top pair with a busted flush draw but Reard’s sent him out in 12th place for $21,501.
