Peter Nigh moved all in from the button and after about 45 seconds Pierre Shum made the call with a covering stack.

Peter Nigh: A?8?
Pierre Shum: Q?2?

"We need a queen or a two!" Shum told his rail before the board ran out.

Shum smashed the Q?Q?7? flop and held on the J? turn and 5? river to win his first WSOP gold bracelet while Nigh's deep run came to an end with a second place finish.

Stay tuned for a full recap including the winner's reaction that will follow shortly.
