There was a raise to 5,000 and Conor Beresford just called on the button. Mason Pye re-raised to 18,500 from the big blind which got the initial raiser to fold but Beresford called.
The flop came 
and Pye fired out a bet of 12,500. Beresford raised to 31,000 and Pye stuck around to see the 
on the turn. Pye checked this time and Beresford splashed in a bet of 66,000. Pye check-raised all in and Beresford quickly called off his stack of 211,500.
Conor Beresford: 
Mason Pye: 
Beresford flopped a set of nines while Pye was up against it with pocket queens. The 
paired the board on the river and Beresford scored a massive double-up to vault into the chip lead on Day 2.
