One the final hand, Benoit min-raised from the button to 120K, and Ricky Tang went all-in for 1.8M. Benoit took a minute to think about the situation, and ended up calling. He turned over Ace of Clubs Jack of Spades, and it was a race with Ricky’s 10 of Spades 10 of Clubs. The board was Queen of Spades Queen of Diamonds 8 of Clubs 5 of Clubs Ace of Hearts, and that infamous ace on the river gave Benoit the win!
