Andrey Zhigalov completed, and Jordan Siegel called. Qinghai Pan then two-bet, Jose Paz-Gutierrez called cold, and Zhigalov and Siegel called as well.
"Juicy family pot, this one's gonna be big," Luke Schwartz commented on the action.
Fourth street checked to Zhigalov, who bet. All three players called to fifth street, where it checked to Zhigalov again. He placed another bet, seeing only Pan fold while the others called.
Zhigalov gained the betting lead on sixth street and fired again. Siegel raised, Paz-Gutierrez called, and Zhigalov called as well. Zhigalov then checked to Siegel on seventh street. Siegel bet, Paz-Gutoerrez folded, and Zhigalov called to showdown.
Siegel showed down a full house, and Zhigalov eyed his opponent's cards for a few moments before forfeiting the pot by mucking his hand.
"That was the biggest pot of the tournament," Phil Hellmuth said as Siegel dragged the chips to his stack.
