Antoine Saout has the button. Darvin Moon completes from the small blind, and Eric Buchman is content to see a free flop from the big.

It brings {7-Spades}

and a check from Moon. Buchman makes a bet of 1.4 million, and Moon calls. The turn is the {8-Clubs}

, and Moon passes again. This time Buchman checks behind, and the river pairs the board with the {8-Spades}

. Both players check again, and Moon tables ace-high with a paint card. Buchman rolls over {K-Diamonds}

, and his eights and fours are plenty good enough to win him the pot.
