Anders Henriksson raised to 60,000 and Jacobo Fernandez took a peek at Henriksson's stack before folding. Ben Sprengers made the call and Chuck Sklar called from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Spades} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} and Sklar bet 135,000. Henriksson took his time before moving all in for 285,000 and Sprengers instantly announced all in himself for 460,000. Sklar counted out his chips and thought a bit before folding.

The hands:

Henriksson: {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Sprengers: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}

Sprengers needed to catch an ace and the {10-Clubs} on the turn didn't help. But, incredibly, the {A-Clubs} spiked on the river to give Sprengers the hand and cruelly send Henriksson out in 7th place.
