David "ODB" Baker opened on the button only to see Jonathan Pastore three-bet out of the small blind. Baker made the call to send the two players to the first draw.
Pastore stood pat while Baker opted to take one card before calling a bet from his French opponent.
Both players declined to draw at the second opportunity but Pastore still bet out, receiving a call once again.
As on the previous draw, neither Baker nor Pastore chose to take a card with Pastore slowing down, checking to his opponent who tossed a bet into the middle. With a shake of the head, Pastore made the crying call, mucking as soon as Baker tabled 10♥8♠6♦A♣ to ship the pot to Baker who, as a result, saw his stack shoot north of the 1,000,000 mark.

Toh took one on the first draw while Hampton chose to stand pat. Hampton followed that up with a bet and Toh called.
The exact same drawing and betting pattern took place on the second draw with Toh taking one more card on the final draw. He then checked and Hampton followed suit, checking back before turning over K♣9♥7♦2♠ for the win.
