Benny Glaser opened to 225,000 from under the gun and it was folded to Kristopher Tong, who moved all in for his last 1,425,000 on the button.
Action folded back to Glaser, who went into the tank.
"I want to win," Tong said to Glaser. "I genuinely play poker tournaments to win."
Glaser thought a bit longer and then committed calling chips into the middle to put Tong at risk.
Kristopher Tong: 7♠7♥
Benny Glaser: K♥Q♥
It was a race for Tong's tournament life, but despite Tong's desire, the 9♠Q♣Q♠3♣4♠ runout favored Glaser — leaving him best with trip queens to eliminate Tong in fifth place and take over a commanding chip lead.
