With the board showing 
on the turn and about a million already in the pot, Ryan Hoenig checked from the small blind, and Joseph Phelps moved all in from middle position for 620,000.
Hoenig went into the tank, and used his last two Time Chips to tank for more than a minute before he folded.
Phelps showed 
for a nine-high bluff as he took the pot.
“Nice hand,” said Hoenig. “I almost called you with ace-jack. I wanted to call, but you looked calm enough. I couldn’t do it.”
Joseph Phelps – 1,645,000 (41 bb)
Ryan Hoenig – 1,370,000 (34 bb)
