Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Lukas Hafner and Nicholas Verderamo, among the chip leaders, went head-to-head in a huge pot.
Picking up the action after a flop of 10♠Q♠9♠, Hafner bet 200,000 from the button. Verderamo, in the cutoff made the call.
The players checked the turn of 8♣, but Verderamo fired first when 10♦ was tabled on the river, betting 255,000. Hafner sat for a bit, then raised to 1,150,000.
Verderamo gave it a full minute and a half of study before finally making the call. Hafner showed 9♣9♥ for the full house that earned him a pot of more than three million.
