The early position player bet to 1,200,000, while Paul Gunness from the cutoff three bet to 3,600,000. Powen Fang called all in for 900,000, and the early position player folded. Both players revealed their hands.
Powen Fang: 4♥5♠
Paul Gunness: 6♣6♥
The board ran out 8♥J♠Q♠9♦3♣ for Gunness to scoop the pot.
Powen Fang shoved under the gun for a remaining stack round 9,200,000 and Myles Mullaly called with the dominant stack to create the following showdown:
Powen Fang; A♣J♥
Myles Mullaly: A♥K♥
The 6♥3♥J♣8♥2♥ board didn't help Fang who was left with less than one big blind after that hand.
Vitor De Souza Coutinho completed his small blind and Paul Gunness checked.
The flop came 4♦10♣9♠ and Gunness called a bet worth 900,000 from Coutinho. After some thinking, Gunness called another bet from Coutinho on the 5♦ turn, this time for 2,400,000.
The Q♠ hit the river and Coutinho checked. Gunness decided to bet 6,200,000 and Coutinho snap-folded.
Martin Stausholm raised to 1,200,000 from the cutoff and Javier Zarco considered his options and asked how many chips the players behind him held. Zarco then made the move all in for 6,200,000. Stausholm called.
Javier Zarco: 10♥Q♦
Martin Stausholm: A♠K♠
The board came out J♦J♠5♥2♣Q♣ and Zarco did a victory yell as he doubled up in chips.
