Anthony Lacey limped the button for 160,000, and Jeffery Birt checked his option in the big blind.

Birt checked the flop over to Lacey, who bet 250,000. Birt stuck around with a call.

The on the turn saw Birt check again, and Lacey fire 400,000. Birt stuck in a check-raise to 1.4 million, and that sent Lacey in the tank. After a few moments, Lacey elected to shove for 2.4 million total and Birt snap-called.

Birt:

Both players turned an ace, but Lacey had kicker problems. He needed a deuce to win or a four or six to chop the pot, but the fell on the river to eliminate Lacey in second place, making Birt our champion here at MSPT Running Aces!
