After brief deal discussions failed to bear fruit, Ben Skinner limped from the small blind with Q♦7♦, and Michael Stanley knuckled 10♦4♠ in the big blind.

On the Q♠J♥10♠ flop, Skinner led out with a bet of 300,000, which failed to shake off Stanley.

The J♠ hit on the turn, and was checked through to the 4♣ river.

Skinner checked, and Stanley fired out a bet of 800,000. Skinner quickly called, and took the pot with the better two pair.

Ben Skinner – 12,000,000
Michael Stanley – 6,800,000
