Maxime Parys opened to 500,000 under the gun, holding A♦K♦. Abdullah Akbarpoor then threw in a small blind three-bet to 1,000,000 from middle position, holding 9♦9♠ and action folded back to Parys.
He tanked for a short time, before jamming his stack of 3,000,000, and now it was Akbarpoor's turn to tank. After quite some time, he let his hand go, and Parys picked up some chips without flipping.
Action folded all the way around to Benjamin Hammann in the small blind, who opted to shove with K♣Q♦ for 4,400,000 effective.
Big blind player Hammer was in quite the spot, as a call with A♦8♣ would put his tournament life at risk. Eventually, he opted to flip a coin to decide his outcome. As it landed, he mucked his cards, opting against what would've been a flip.
