With A♣6♥, Benjamin Hammann raised to 1,000,000 on the button and Neculai Macovei defended his big blind holding 8♠7♣.
Both players saw the 5♥4♠8♦ flop, and Macovei checked. Hammann bet 700,000, which was raised to 2,000,000 by Macovei. Hammann called.
The 10♣ on the turn caused Macovei to check. Hammann checked behind, and a Q♦ came on the river.
Macovei bet 800,000, and Hammann chose to raise to 6,500,000. Macovei used up all of his thirty seconds before tossing his cards away.
