A few hands after Leif Force doubled thru Aaron Kupin, Kupin raised to 60,000, Force pot-raised to 180,000, and Kupin called.

The flop came 10c9d3s, and Force bet the pot (360,000), which appeared to be enough to put Kupin all in. Kupin tanked for a long time before he put all of his chips at risk.

Leif Force:  AsKd8s5s  (ace high)
Aaron Kupin:  5c4h3c2h  (pair of threes)

The turn card was the Qd, giving Force a gutshot straight draw, and the river card was — the Ad. Force won the pot — plus the trophy and $11,635 — with a pair of aces. Kupin finished as the runner-up, earning $7,725.
