David "Doc" Sands opened with a raise holding and Cary Katz defended from the big blind with 
. The 
flop gave Katz second pair, but it was no good as Sands had flopped top two pair.
Katz checked, Sands bet 80,000, and Katz made the call while saying, "I'll let you sucker me in." Katz then checked the 
turn and Sands thought for a long time before betting 270,000 with his full house. Katz lined up some chips and it looked like he was going to min-raise before quickly slinging his cards into the muck.
