Peter Jetten - 2,210,000

Billy "The Croc" Argyros has the button in Seat 5. Michael Mizrachi limps in as first to act before The Croc raises to 270,000. Action folds back to Mizrachi who reraises all in. The Croc makes the call, and for the second time in three hands, The Croc's fate is in Mizrachi's hands.
Mizrachi:
The Croc:
Single-suited aces for The Croc against Mizrachi's three Broadway cards. A cheer erupts from The Croc's cheering section when the flop comes to make a set of aces for The Croc, but it's far from over. Mizrachi has a gutshot draw against The Croc's set. It's the complete opposite of the all-in confrontation just two hands ago, when Mizrachi had the set and The Croc had the gutshot draw. The shoe's on the other foot.
In that previous hand, The Croc caught his gutshot on the turn. Mizrachi proves he's equal to the task when he rolls his own gutter ball with the on the turn to make a Broadway straight. Live poker is so rigged.
The Croc needs a board pair on the river, and just like Mizrachi, he doesn't get it when the river falls .
Seriously? Seriously. These two players just played the same hand from opposite sides of the fence twice within three hands. The second time sent The Croc to the mat. He won't be getting back up, but he will be getting $268,605.
