On a flop reading {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Mauricio Sanchez was all in for 825,000 from the small blind. Andrea Salamone thought for a long while, then tossed in chips to call.

Hafthor Hlynsson
Hafthor Hlynsson

Gisle Olsen raised from early position and was called by Hafthor Hlynsson in the small blind. On the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, both stacks collided with Hlynsson at risk for around 1.5 million.

Hafthor Hlynsson: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Gisle Olsen: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Olsen jumped out of his chair when he saw the huge draw of Hlynsson, who somehow missed on the {2-Hearts} turn and {9-Hearts} river.

"Wow, that was exciting," Olsen exclaimed and Gregory Armand added "better than sports."

Hlynsson got up from his chair with the head shaking and slowly made his way out of the tournament area.
