Ryan Pringle went all in for 3,305,000 from the hijack, and after a long deliberation where the clock was called, Felix Mcpeake decided to call for his tournament life.
Felix Mcpeake: A♠9♦
Ryan Pringle: J♠J♣
Pringle held a significant lead over Mcpeake as they headed into the runout, but that all changed when the flop came A♥7♦2♥ to vault Mcpeake into the lead.
The 5♣ turn and the 4♥ river did not alter the standings of the hands as Mcpeake doubled and Pringle fell to just below the seven-figure mark.
