Right before break began, a consequential hand broke out as Craig Savage jammed from the small blind for 23,300,000 and was called by Tony Harrison in the big blind, who had him covered.
Craig Savage: K♠3♠
Tony Harrison: 9♣9♥
Savage needed help as Harrison held a healthy lead with his pocket nines, and the help came when the flop fanned out J♦K♦7♥ to give Savage top pair.
The 7♦ turn and the 4♥ river were of no help to Harrison as Savage secured the double.
