And the seat between them was empty, and soon to be filled with Michael Soyza who has been tearing up the live circuit in the past two years.

Romain Nussman and Maria Lampropoulos were heads up on a 
flop. Lampropoulos checked and Nussman bet 3,800, which Lampropoulos called. The 
turn brought a fourth flush card and this time both players checked.
The river was the 
pairing the board and Lampropoulos checked for the last time. Nussman tanked before betting a hefty 20,000 into the pot and Lampropoulos tanked even longer. Eventually the clock was called and with only five seconds left on the clock, she decided to pass.
