Murcia then check-called for 750,000 on the 4♣ turn, which brought in the 8♣ river. Murcia checked, and Gambini sized up to 2,000,000. Murcia, who had 2,380,000, was put to the test for most of his chips. He agonized over his options, ending up making the call only to be shown the bad news.

Neither player connected with the 6♦3♦3♠ flop, keeping Nolet's ace-high as the best hand. He continued for 400,000 and Livshitz called.
