In another limped pot, Courtenay Williams checked from the big blind on the 5♦6♦K♣ flop. Ramaswamy Pyloore checked behind, prompting Williams to bet 20,000,000 on the A♦ turn.

Pyloore tossed in a call to the 5♠ river, where Williams quickly assembled 60,000,000 chips and put them in the middle. Pyloore, after some thought, looked Williams up.

Williams could only show 10♦3♣ for ten-high, leaving Pyloore to take the pot with 2♦2♣ for a measly underpair.
