Fireworks?

The excitement came on the turn in this pot, so we'll pick up the action there. The board read {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {7-Clubs} by now, and there was a little more than 50,000 in the pot. Andrew Pantling was first to go, and he made a bet of 42,000 before Phil Laak promptly raised it up to 162,000. For the second time in this heads-up battle, the entire spectator gallery rose to their feet and pressed in toward the table in anticipation of fireworks.

But that was the end of the drama right there. Pantling conceded defeat, and Laak's lead is secure for now.
