Pignataro: K♥ K♦

Queen: A♣ A♠

Flop J♠ 2♦ 10♦ (Gregg open ended)

Turn: 5♥ (no change)

River: J♣

Queen's pocket aces take the pot sending Pignataro and Gregg to the rail.

Nepomnyaschiy, aka "the Jedi," says, "winning the heads-up isn't enough? He runs like God."

Queen won the heads up Championship ($29,098) two days ago and the 2010 Borgata Spring Poker Open title ($356,000). Borgata is definitely Queen's run good home.

Players are on a 15 minute break after playing the first two levels.
