Thomas Bacon raised to 12,000 from the Button, and Sean McDiarmid called from the Small Blind.
McDiarmid then check-called Bacon’s 15,000 bet on the 10♠5♥J♣ flop. Turn brought the J♥ which both player chose to check.
The 9♦ on the river would make things interesting; after McDiarmid had checked, Bacon bet 75,000 into the pot, which consisted of roughly 65,000. McDiarmid did a few twists and turns before ultimately calling.
Bacon showed Q♥8♠ for the straight and as McDiarmid slid his cards into the muck, Bacon’s stack grew an inch or two prior to the final 20-minute break of the day.
Sean McDiarmid: 490,000
Thomas Bacon: 440,000
