With about 75,000 in the pot and the board reading , three players remained in the hand.
Robert Cowen checked in the big blind. Johnny Lodden was in the cutoff and bet 56,000. Norbert Szecsi was on the button and called, as did Cowen. The river was the , and Cowen and Lodden checked. Szecsi tanked for a couple of minutes and then checked as well.
Cowen and Lodden both verbalized having two pair, and Szecsi said, "I have a straight." He flipped over for the king-high straight to win the pot.
