Paul Stanechewski opened to 50,000 in middle position, and Tim Reilly called on the button.

The flop came 9c7d6d, and Stanechewski check-called a bet of 80,000. Reilly bet another 150,000 on the 6h turn, then 450,000 on the 7c river. Stanechewski called him down, and Reilly showed 9s9d to win the pot with a full house.

Stanechewski claimed he had pocket queens as he paid off his river debt, dropping well over half his remaining stack in that encounter.

Tim Reilly – 3,480,000 (145 bb)
Paul Stanechewski – 526,000 (22 bb)
