Martin Stausholm was in early position and after taking some time to think he moved all in for roughly 780,000. Ben Yu was in the small blind and pushed all his chips in, totalling 635,000 and the big blind folded.

Ben Yu: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Marin Stausholm: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades} and Yu vaults ahead in the chip counts while putting Stausholm in a precarious position.
