Jon Turner opened to 4,700 from early position, Phil Laak three-bet to 15,700 out of the small blind, Naoya Kihara cold four-bet to 100,000 out of the big blind. Turner quickly folded, while Laak took his time before flicking his cards into the muck.

"That one hurt," Laak admitted.

"How much is that?" he asked Wright.

"Seventeen-hundred," Wright said, spreading out the few chips he had left.

Ivey laughed again.

"No," he said. "That."

Ivey pointed at the four-bet, which was a massive stack of rainbow colored ships. Wright told him the amount, and Ivey tank-folded.
