The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Restifo checked. Shaw bet and Restifo called.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Restifo checked again. Shaw bet and Restifo called. Shaw showed down his {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades} for two pair and a low while Restifo showed {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair and a worse low. That meant that Shaw would scoop the pot and Restifo was cut down to just over 100,000 chips.
