The board was showing when Ben Vinson was seated on the button and bet 725,000. His opponent was Manig Loeser, sat on his right, and playing from the cutoff. Loeser gave himself some thinking time before making the call, and the dealer turned over the river card, which was the .
Loeser quickly checked, and Vinson moved all in for 1.7million. Loeser was visibly frustrated by this and folded.
"Will you say what you had?" Loeser asked, to which Vinson just shook his head and continued to pile up his chips.
The chips were already being passed to Chris Brice as Jamie O'Connor stood from his seat. Brice was happy to explain the hand.
Brice opened the action from middle-position and Jamie O'Connor three-bet from the button. Brice put O'Connor to the test by four-betting all in. O'Connor wasn't to be phased and he made the call.

Brice's pocket-rockets held and O'Connor was consoled by his tablemates as they discussed the situation.
"I haven't had a hand in about five hours" O'Connor joked.
A 20th-place-finish and a £7,500 pay day for the man who came into the day fourth in chips.
Chris Sly raised pre-flop and got two callers including Daniel Jackson in the big blind. Jackson checked the flop to Sly who bet 500,000. The third player in the hand folded and Jackson check-raised putting Sly all in. Sly called.
Players are going on a 15-minute break before the final two levels of Day 3. The blinds will be 60,000/120,000 with a 120,000 button ante when they return.
