It appeared as though Seiver and Sands were going to engage in a lengthy heads-up battle. This all changed when Seiver and Sands decided to go all-in pre-flop, with Seiver holding pocket Nines and Sands holding pocket Tens.
Sands, who had Seiver covered at the time, was crushed to see a board of 3s-7s-9c, which gave Seiver a set of Nines. The turn and river didn't help Sands, and Seiver was shipped the massive pot. The tournament ended just a few minutes later after Sands decided to push with Kh-4d. Seiver looked down at Ac-7s and called. The board ran out Qd-8d-5d-9h-3h, giving Seiver the pot and the victory.
