James Basham open-shoved for 58,500 from under the gun, Shabtai Moria re-shoved on his direct left, and the rest of the players folded.

Basham tabled {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, shrugging, and Moria revealed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Moria's rail surrounded the table, gleefully cheering, and Basham himself had a laugh.

The mood changed drastically when the {2-Hearts} peaked through the window of the {8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, giving Basham a leading set of deuces. Suddenly, Moria needed an ace to knock out Basham, but he received no help as the turn and river bricked off {5-Clubs}, {j-Spades} respectively.

Basham shipped the fortunate double up, while Moria plummeted to 47,000 chips.

Frank Wyville told the table that he folded {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, meaning the {2-Hearts} was the fourth and final deuce in the deck.
