Long Ma raised to 5,500,000 from early position. The action folded to Edward Cummins, who defended from the big blind.

The flop came down the {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Cummins open-jammed for 15,700,000. Ma immediately looked distressed and held his cards up to clearly visible to himself. After several moments he put his cards face down again ad tanked more, playing with his chips. Eventually, he spiked the chips into the middle for the call.

Ma had the {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} and was ahead against the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} draw of Cummins. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river came the {4-Clubs} to miss the diamonds and to finish off Cummins in 15th place.
