The board runs out and Lifman’s pair holds up, and he’s up to 420,000 chips. After Spagnuolo’s departure, Lifman said the following with a big smile.

“Those who draw to straights and flushes, come in Rolls’ and leave on buses.”

Nipun Java laughed the loudest at Lifman’s poetic remark, and it’s safe to say that there’s a jovial atmosphere at this final table.
