The table folded around to the button, and Jeff Banghart moved all in for his final 38,000 chips. Jesse Hale quickly folded from the small blind, but John McDonald appeared to be considering a difficult call.

Banghart began to banter with McDonald as he pondered. "Come on, stick it in there. I wanna double up or go home. Come on, let's gamble one time. I want you to call me, I can tell you that right now."

"All right, you're my friend," admitted McDonald. He then obliged Banghart by matching the additional 32,000, putting the pro's tournament life on the line.

Showdown:
Banghart: {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
McDonald: {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}

With Banghart standing to await his fate, the dealer ran out the board: {6-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. The at-risk player had plenty of chances, but he could not catch up. After a fine couple weeks here in Council Bluffs, Jeff Banghart's series has come to a close. He'll pick up more than $15,000 for his seventh-place finish here in the Championship.
