Michael Johns was first to act and raised to 250,000. Kyle Cartwright on the button then three-bet to 700,000. After the blinds folded, Johns four-bet all in for his stack of 3,550,000. Carwright said "I dont think I can fold this" before making the call to put Johns at risk.
Michael Johns: A♠A♥ 
Kyle Cartwright: A♣Q♣
Cartwright ran into the aces of Johns, but the 5♠8♦Q♦ flop did give him two outs to crack the aces. But the 9♦ on the turn and 6♠ on the river was no help, giving the pot to Johns and over taking the chip lead.
