Marco Meisser started the action in the cutoff by raising to 900,000 and Connor Daynard three-bet on the button to 2,250,000. Meisser considered it for some time and called.
The flop gave 7♣6♠Q♠ and Meisser checked. Daynard continued for 1,600,000 and Meisser took a minute before folding.
Tao Chu raised from the hijack to 800,000, and only Gawain Visagie made the call, defending his big blind.
Chu continued for 750,000 on the J♦K♦9♣ flop, but met resistance in the form of a check-raise to 1,650,000 from Visagie. Chu made the call, and the players moved on to the turn.
Visagie committed his remaining 1,200,000 on the A♣ turn, and, after getting a count of the stack, Chu made the call.
Gawain Visagie: Q♥10♣
Tao Chu: A♠Q♠
Visagie had flopped Broadway, and when the river 3♠ couldn't help Chu to a chopped pot, the dealer pushed the huge pot to Visagie, who had already gone to the rail to celebrate with a friend.
