Thiel was racing for his tournament life and the flop that fell improved Genson to a set of sevens while also keeping him a gut shot straight draw.

The turn kept things interesting as it brought possible chop outs if another spade were to fall on the river but fortunately for Thiel, the dealer peeled the keeping his Main Event hopes alive.

Harrison Genson - 450,000
Chris Thiel - 89,000
