Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 60,000 in the pot, and the board showing 4♥2♣10♣.
Dale Capuano in the big blind bet out 50,000, and Nicholas Banyas on the button raised to 100,000. Then Capuano three-bet to 250,000, before Banyas four-bet all in for Capuano's stack of 647,000. Capuano quickly called to put himself at risk.
Dale Capuano: J♣10♦
Nicholas Banyas: Q♥10♥
Banyas and Capuano both flopped top pair, but Banyas had Capuano dominated with the bigger kicker. But when the J♦ hit the turn, Capuano jumped into the lead with two pair. After the 5♦ river, Capuano's two pair was still best, to give him the double up and a massive pot.
