Reese checked to Crowder who put out another bet of 350,000. Reese only waited a moment before putting in the turn check-raise to 850,000.

Crowder went into the tank for about a minute before he announced he was all in. Reese snap called.

Adam Reese opened the button to 175,000 before he got a call from Andrew Porter in the small blind and a three-bet from the big blind to 725,000 from Greg Himmelbrand. It was back on Reese who took a moment before putting in the warm four-bet to the tune of 1,600,000. Porter folded and action was back on Himmelbrand.

Himmelbrand went into the tank for a moment and then eventually called and they were off to a flop.

The Q♦5♣3♣ flop landed and Himmelbrand check-called a 575,000 bet from Reese on their way to a J♦ turn.

The action checked through and the 4♥ landed on the river.

Himmelbrand tanked for almost two minutes before announcing a bet of 2,200,000. Reese thought for a moment and then folded.
