Dinner Double for Shih
Kenny Shih raised to 250,000 under the gun and action folded around to Philipp Gruissem in the cutoff. He thought for a moment before putting in a three-bet to 585,000. The blinds got out of the way and Shih simply moved all in for 2.155 milllion. Gruissem called and it was off to the races.
Showdown

Shih: 
The proverbial coin was tossed and landed in Shih's favor as the board ran out 
. Shih doubled to 4.94 just before the dinner break.
