West raised all in on the button and Daneshgar insta-called. West turned over K-J, but Daneshgar slammed over his pocket aces. The board came 4c-3c-2s and West walked over to the other side of the table to congratulate Daneshgar. But another club came on the turn (Ac), giving Daneshgar a set, but West still had some hope since he was holding one card of the club suit. The river was the 2d and West was eliminated.
Tim West won second place and $181,115.
David Daneshgar won the bracelet, $330,105, and a seat into the World Poker Tour Finals in April 2007.
