Carson Richards opened to 9,000,000 in middle position and Junho Song made the call in the cutoff. Jake Brown also came along in the small blind and announced a check in the dark before the dealer fanned out the 2?6?K? flop.
Richards continued for 10,000,000, producing a fold from Song. Brown then check-raised to 20,000,000 and Richards took a moment before announcing all in.
"I'm gonna need an exact count," Brown told the dealer while he contemplated his decision. The total was 74,300,000, representing most of Brown's remaining stack. After a few minutes in the tank, Brown stuck in a calling chip.
Carson Richards: K?Q?
Jake Brown: K?4?

: Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Jefferson James moved all in from under the gun for his last 33,000,000 chips. Action folded all the way around to Junho Song in the big blind who called all in for less.
Level 43
: Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Oshri Azran raised from the button to 10,000,0000 and Christopher Castellan made the call from the big blind.
On the K?5?9? flop, Castellan check, Azran bet 10,000,000, and Castellan shoved all in. Azran had 35,000,000 behind and wasted no time in making the call which put him at risk.
Oshri Azran: K?J?
Christopher Castellan: Q?9?
Azran was in the lead and would join the chip leaders if his hand could hold up. If Castellan could find a way to win the hand, his stack would swell to near 200,000,000 and he would be an overwhelming chip leader.
The turn brought a 10? which swapped some of the outs around, and the Q? river improved Castellan to two pair, but also gave Azran a straight which doubled him up.
