Lee Watkinson is on the button. Jon Kalmar raises to 450,000 from the cutoff seat. Jerry Yang reraises to 950,000 from the big blind. Kalmar makes the call. It's heads up to the flop and both players check it down all the way. By showdown, the board reads...

{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The players turn up their hands. It's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for Jerry Yang and {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for Jon Kalmar. Kalmar has a pair of nines and wins the pot.

Lee Childs has the button in seat 9, Tuan Lam raises from the small blind to 480,000, Scotty Nguyen reraises from the big blind to 1.48 million, and Lam thinks for about a minute before he calls. There is already 3.06 million in the pot.

The flop comes {K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Lam checks, Nguyen bets 700,000, and Lam calls. There is now 4.46 million in the pot.

The turn card pairs the board with the {K-Diamonds}, and both players check.

The river card is the {J-Diamonds}, Lam bets 1 million, Nguyen raises to 3.5 million, and Lam goes into the tank for about five minutes before he eventually calls. Nguyen shows {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair, kings and fours, and Lam shows {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a higher two pair, kings and tens.

Tuan Lam wins the pot worth 11.46 million.
