Brayden Lou raised to 2,500,000 from the small blind before Stephen Ma reraised to 5,500,000. Lou then made it 12,000,000, Ma moved all in, and Lou called.

Stephen Ma: 2♥2♦ All in
Brayden Lou: A♦J♠

It was a terrible start for Ma as the flop came J♦10♣8♥, the 3♠ on the turn had Ma one foot out the door, and the 5♠ on the ended his great run in 3rd place.
