The three remaining players discussed the option of looking at the numbers but decided to play the current hand first.

Andreas Christoforou raised to 1,000,000 from the button and Liran Twito shoved in the big blind. Christoforou made the call.

Andreas Christoforou: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Liran Twito: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for Christoforou to stay ahead.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} for Twito to pick up the open-ended straight draw.

The river completed the board with the {j-Hearts} for Christoforou to double up and the public to go crazy.

The clock has now been paused while the chips are being counted and numbers are being looked at.
