Robert Bichler opened from early position with a shove of 435,000. He got one caller, Noel Edwards in middle position, who had the effective stack of 430,000.
Noel Edwards: 
Robert Bichler: 
Bichler was behind, and when the 
flop provided just one club, he was drawing thin, but still had outs. The 
turn gave him a flush draw, but the 
river was a brick, and Edwards scooped the pot and doubled up, leaving Bichler with a single 5,000 chip.
On the very next hand, Bichler found himself under the gun and tossed his last chip into the pot. Deonarine Itwaru raised to 100,000. David Jones, the small blind, and Bruce Webb, the big blind, both made the call.
"You guys don't want to leave it alone? You want to intercept," Itwaru said as the blinds called, "This isn't football. These guys want to play football not poker."
The 
flop was checked through before Jones fired for 300,000 on the turn. Webb folded quickly before Itwaru tanked for a few minutes, counting out chips several times, before finally mucking, giving the side pot to Jones, and letting him showdown heads-up against Bichler.

The 
river completed the board, and Jones' pair of aces were enough to send Bichler to the rail. Itwaru told Jones he had him beat, as he had folded
