Level 27 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Danny Tang raised to 875,000 under the gun and saw Ronald Keijzer defend his big blind. On the 2♦10♥Q♠ flop, Tang continued for 1,500,000 chips and Keijzer check-called.

The Q♥ turn then emerged from the deck and saw Tang size down to 1,350,000. Keijzer check-called again to see the J♣ appear on the river.

Keijzer checked for a third time, after which Tang slid in 4,200,000 chips. Keijzer spent one time bank before announcing his all in for 9,525,000 chips total.

Tang went into a tank of his own, but eventually threw in a calling chip.

"Nice call," said Keijzer as he tabled A♠J♥10♦8♣ for an attempted bluff with his full house blockers. Tang showed down Q♣10♣7♥8♥ for queens full of tens and raked in the massive pot.

"I just couldn't lay it down," Tang explained as he was awarded the pot. He ended up with more than half the chips in play while Keijzer headed to the payout desk to collect his fourth-place prize money.
