With the final board showing 7s4h2hAh7h on the river and about 28,000 already in the pot, Eric Siegel bet 33,000 from the hijack, leaving himself about 1,000 behind.

His opponent on the button had 33,800 in his stack, and tanked for a long time until somebody called for a clock.

Shortly after the clock arrived, the player on the button called, and Siegel showed KhJc for a king-high flush. The player on the button folded, and Siegel effectively doubled up.

Eric Siegel  –  95,000  (95 bb)

Registration remains open with a single re-entry per starting flight until the beginning of Level 9, around 9:15 pm. The prizepool is already worth more than $1.83 million on its way to the $3 million guarantee.
