Eric Buchman completed with the {A-Hearts} up, and John Monnette called showing the {4-Spades} . It was heads up all the way.

Buchman (x-x) / {a-Hearts} {k-Clubs} {q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} / (x)
Monnette: (x-x) / {4-Spades} {5-Spades} {8-Spades} {A-Diamonds} / (x)

Buchman bet fourth street with Monnette calling, and both players checked through fifth street. On sixth, Buchman led back out, and Monnette quickly called. On the last round, Buchman made the bet in the dark, and Monnette checked his cards carefully before raising. Buchman mumbled to himself under his breath, splashing the call into the pot.

Monnette's down cards were {10-Spades} {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} , and his spade flush was the winner. With that pot, Monnette has crossed the two-million chip mark. He's at about 2.03 million by our count, knocking Buchman down to about 605,000.
