Aaron Gordon raised to 200,000 from early position and Brandon Cantu called from middle position. Craig Marquis, next to act, raised to 700,000 total. Gordon passed but Cantu made the call.

The flop came {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and both players checked. When the {A-Diamonds} hit the turn, Cantu checked. Marquis bet 200,000 and Cantu made it one million straight. Marquis called and they saw a river.

The {10-Clubs} hit the river and Cantu pushed all in. Marquis snap-called and Cantu instantly mucked his hand. Marquis, while not required, showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}.

Craig Marquis took down the pot of just over 12 million in chips. Cantu was left not only shaking his head, but with just under four million in chips.
