Mike Eise min-raised from the button and Jeff Chang made the call from the big blind.

The flop fell down {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Chang checked to Eise who moved all in. Chang insta-called for his tournament life and the cards were tabled.

Eise: {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Chang: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

With Chang making a great call, both players sat there emotionless waiting to see how their poker fate played out at the hands of the dealer.

The crowd leaned in, and for once it was fairly quiet around the secondary feature table . . . until the dealer burned and turned the {7-Hearts} to cause and eruption from both the railbirds, random onlookers and most importantly Eise.

Dejected, but still with outs, Chang would need one of the remaining Aces or Jacks in the deck; but seeing the {5-Spades} land on the river, all hope was lost.

Eise was rushed by his family and friends, and the ever-calm Chang walked over and shook his hand while on his way to collecting $392,494 for his runner-up finish.
