After some thought, Samejima reraised to 135,000. Janik took a few moments before he shoved for about 500,000, putting Samejima to a decision for his stack of approximately 400,000. Samejima called fairly quickly and the two players tabled their hands.

Samejima: ![]()

river changed nothing and Janik took the massive pot to send Samejima to the cage.
