Youness Barakat raised the button to 280,000 and Quan Zhou defended from the big blind.
Zhou checked first on the K♥Q♥Q♣ flop and Barakat bet 170,000. Zhou continued in the form of a call.
The 4♠ on the turn checked through for the 9♠ to complete the board. Zhou checked for the last time, and Barakat bet 750,000. Zhou check-jammed, covering Barakat.
Barakat took one look at his cards and then made the call for his stack of 2,885,000.
Zhou showed a bluff with K♠10♠7♣6♣, and Barakat tabled K♣K♦10♦4♥ for a full house, kings full of queens.
Barakat doubled up to over six million, and Zhou became one of the shortest stacks remaining.
