Sobash's prediction proved true as the board put out a lot of overcards to his deuces, but none that the other player needed, 7x8xKx10xJx, and Sobash scored the knockout.

Eric Baldwin bet 1,500 on a 5♦2♥5♣ flop, and the big blind called.
The 4♣ turn slowed down Baldwin, and both players checked. The big blind took the lead on the river, betting 4,000 on th 7♠. Baldwin, who has experience navigating big fields with two bracelets and two circuit rings in large field events, performed several chip riffles as he talked himself into the hero call.
The big blind showed Baldwin's intuition was correct, turning over king-ten, and Baldwin's A♣Q♠ was good for the win.
