The action was opened with a raise from the player in the under the gun position and Jamie O'Connor three-bet in the cutoff. Patrice Brandt cold-called from the button as did Michael Chi Zhang from the small blind and after the initial raiser also called they went four-ways to the flop with 350,000 in the pot already.

Flop:

Action checked to O'Connor and he bet 105,000. Brandt folded, Zhang called and the other player folded.

Now heads-up on the turn, both players checked after the dealer revealed the .

The hit on the river and Zhang took the betting lead for 240,000. O'Connor sized up his own chip stack and raised to 750,000. Zhang seemed to sigh to himself and thought about his decision. After some contemplation, he called. O'Connor turned over for a flush and Zhang mucked. The two-million chip pot was pushed towards O'Connor and put him over the five million mark.
