Paul Browne raised to 1,000,000 from the button with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, then quickly called when big blind Ryan Mandara shoved for 4,850,000 holding {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

Both players stood up from their seats to await the flop, which came {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Mandara got no help, and the board ran out {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to keep Browne's tens in front.

The two Brits exchanged a quick hug before Mandara made his way to the payout desk, while Browne assumed the tournament chip lead.
