Jesse Lonis raised under the gun to 200,000, Francis Margaglione called from the button, and Carlos Dorca called from the small blind.

The flop came Jd9s6d, Dorca checked, and Lonis bet 350,000. Margaglione raised to 900,000, Dorca folded, and Lonis thought for the full 30 seconds before he called.

The turn card was the 2c, Lonis checked, Margaglione bet 1,000,000, and Lonis used his last Time Chip to tank for a full minute before he folded. Margaglione took the pot.

Francis Margaglione  –  6,050,000  (81 bb)
