Jacob Mulhern made it 16M from the button with 
and Jeremy Pantin called out of the big blind with 
. After the 
flop it didn't look like much would come of it, but with both players checking and the 
rolling off on the turn, the action heated up.
Pantin led out for 15M with his second pair and Mulhern made it another 30M on top with his flush draw and gutshot straight draw. The river 
was the perfect card for Mulhern. The Brit slid out a stack of chips worth 115M and Pantin called right away with the two pair. They were no match for the nut straight, however, and Mulhern dragged the gigantic pot while leaving Pantin on the short stack.
