Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Hall of Famer Billy Baxter moved all in from under the gun for 29,500, which prompted the early position player to move all in for 62,000. Martin Zamani also moved all in for 72,000 from the hijack. Everyone else folded and the cards went on their backs.

Billy Baxter: K?J?
Early Position: A?Q?
Martin Zamani: A?5?

Both Zamani and early position hit an ace on the A?10?8? flop, but Zamani went runner-runner when the J?2? hit the board to give him a flush to take out two players, but more importantly, claim the $2,006 bounty on Baxter's head.

Baxter has enjoyed an Indian summer this year after finishing second in the Seniors Championships for $473,212 for the highest recorded cash of his glittering career.
