With the board showing Kd8c3dQs on the turn, Sam Ho bet 53,000 from the small blind, and Zo Karim called from the big blind.

The river card was the 9h, and Ho thought for a while before betting 160,000. Karim quickly called, and Ho showed AdJs for ace high. But Karim turned over Kh7c to win the pot with a pair of kings — and become the first player in the tournament to reach 2 million in chips.

Zo Karim  –  2,000,000  (100 bb)
Sam Ho  –  815,000  (41 bb)
