: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Derek Lawless raised to 650,000 with the 
and James Williams called with the 
. On the 
flop, Williams check-called a bet of 800,000 and did so again for 1.2 million on the 
turn. On the 
river, Williams checked once more and Lawless moved all in for 8 million.
Williams only had 6.1 million behind with his top pair, and used two of his time banks before making the call and finding himself with a massive 9-1 lead.
