Sheldon Mayer called from the small blind and Michael Zhang checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣9♠5♠ and Mayer check-called a bet from Zhang.
Mayer checked again on the Q♦ turn and Zhang made another bet. Mayer responded by moving all in and Zhang called all in for approximately 3,000,000 to put himself at risk.
Michael Zhang: 10♠5♣
Sheldon Mayer: 10♥9♥
"That's sick," Zhang said upon seeing both players had flopped two pair.
The 6♠ river kept Mayer in front with tens and nines and Zhang was eliminated in ninth place.
