: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Daniel Clemente folded, and Sam Stein opened on the button to 350,000. Y. Jamal reraised from the small blind to 780,000. Then Tom Marchese cold four-bet shoved. Stein quickly got out of the way, and Jamal asked for a count. It would be another 2,605,000 for Jamal to call. He gave it a minute of thought before surrendering to Marchese.

: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Tom Marchese didn't get to hold onto all of those cihps very long. He opened a pot with a raise, then snap-called after big blind Y. Jamal moved all in.

. Stein led out with a bet. Without waiting for a count both Jamal and Marchese folded.
