Floyd "Played the River Perfectly" to Double
Level 46
: Blinds 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 ante
Yujian Eugen Zhou rasied to 16,000,000 from the button and Brooks Floyd defended in the big blind.
The 3?6?4? flop saw Floyd play out of flow, leading for 12,000,000. Zhou moved all in almost instantly and Floyd called off for his tournament life.
Brooks Floyd: 6?5? 
Yujian Eugen Zhou: A?6?
Floyd was out-kicked but had an open-ended straight draw for insurance. The 9? turn changed nothing but the 2? river completed Floyd's straight to double him up.
"You played the river perfectly," joked one member of Floyd's rail as they celebrated together.
