Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up on a heads-up flop of 7♥4♦6♦ with the table's, and indeed the entire tournament's big stacks, battling it out. Louis Seguin of Team Seguin had 75,000 placed in front of him, and Ke had 150,000, indicating a min-click. After a minute-long tank, Seguin put in the call.

The river 9♠ slowed the action down, as both players checked, which brought in the A♥ on the river. Seguin took some time, and reached for two massive stacks of chips, sliding in a 230,000 bet. Ke took absolutely no time in flicking in a single chip, and waited nervously to see what her opponent showed.

Seguin proudly showed K♦5♥ for a missed straight, as Ke showed 10♦10♣ and exclaimed, "Yes! I win!" Seguin offered a fist bump, alongside a "nice call, nice call."
