After several tables without any major action on the right hand side feature table, Junjie Tang raised to 500,000 from the cutoff. Romain Lewis, in the big blind, three-bet jammed for 5,400,000 and Tang asked for an exact count to then call.
Romain Lewis: 3♠3♥
Junjie Tang: K♦J♥
The French rail asked for a three on the flop and got their wish granted on A♣6♦3♦. Tang picked up outs with the Q♠ turn but the 5♠ river was a blank for Lewis to double in the penultimate hand prior to the extended break.
