Zhi Ma moved all in on the first hand for 1,015,000 from under the gun plus one. The action folded around to Malcolm Trayner in the small blind who raised to 2,050,000 forcing a fold from Chad Awerbuch in the big blind.

Zhi Ma: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Malcolm Trayner: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The flop fell {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} giving Trayner the lead with a set of queens and putting Ma at risk.

Ma then watched as the board ran out the {10-Spades} then {j-Spades} to give him a straight on the river to double up.
