Steve Karp limped in on the button and Travis Johnson open shoved. Karp made an instant call and we saw the hands.

Karp - {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Johnson - {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Karp held his lead on a flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}, but the {Q-Hearts} on the turn snatched it away. The {J-Hearts} on the river offered no help and Johnson took the pot, the $666,853 first-place prize, and the bracelet. Karp earned $414,116 for his play.
