Minh Le had just doubled up with {j-}{j-} versus Xiao Ling Li's {9-}{9-} and was quickly involved in another hand.

They all checked through the {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop to the {a-Spades} on the turn. It was checked to Campomanes who bet 42,000. Le raised to 157,000 which got Yu out of the hand while Campomanes made the call.

The river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds}. Le bet 275,000 and Campomanes looked over to Le, cut out calling chips and then announced he was all-in with the bigger stack. Le tanked, used a time bank card, went through the options in his head, looked up, and then made the call for the 770,000 or so he had behind.

Campomanes tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the turned pair of aces and the rivered flush. Le nodded and showed {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for the flopped set of sixes before making his way out of the tournament area.
