Johan Lees limped in from the button and Daniel Neilson raised to 1,400,000. Lees called.

They saw a flop of A35 and Neilson bet 700,000, which Lees called to see the 8 drop on the turn. Neilson pondered for a few seconds then put out a bet of 3,100,000, which Lees called.

A 6 completed the runout and with around 12,000,000 left in his stack, Neilson marched his army of chips into the middle. Lees quickly rechecked his cards and asked for a count, It was exactly 11,650,000 and upon getting the confirmation, he called.

Neilson then rolled over KQ for just king-high, and Lees showed the winner with A4, ending him the title.
