Stephen Ma opened to 1,000,000 under the gun and Sam Ruha in hijack three-bet to 2,800,000. When action folded to the big blind, Brayden Lou went beyond and four-bet to 9,000,000.

Ma got out of the way, but Ruha made the call to see the flop drop 9♠J♦7♦. After action checked to him, Ruha fired 1,500,000. Lou shoved all-in for 8,350,000, sending Ruha to the tank.

He asked for a count and was visibly mumbling, calculating what to do next. He finally made the call taking them to the ensuing showdown.

Brayden Lou: K♣Q♠ All in
Sam Ruha: A♦J♥

Ruha held the lead with top pair and gained more ground when the turn revealed J♠.
