With the 10♠7♣4♥K♥3♦ board completed and around 350,000 in the middle, Joe Cada of Team Merdita checked to Dominic Coombe of Team Mccartney. Coombe bet 500,000 and the 2009 World Champ slumped back in his chair.
He considered it for nearly three minutes before sliding in a call, but Coombe showed him the bad news with 4♣4♠ for a set of fours.
