The river was the , and Paules checked to Eyster. He moved all in for his last 675,000, and Paules said "I didn't want to see a heart." She made the call, and Eyster flipped over for a rivered flush. Paules said "nice hand," and tabled for top two pair.
The two players essentially flip flopped stacks, as Eyster doulbed to 2.57 million, while Paules fell to 1.165 million
