Josh Kay raised from the hijack to 500,000 with AcJc, Anton Wigg moved all in from the small blind for about 27.7 million with KdQh, and Kay used two of his Time Chips to tank for more than a minute before he called all in for about 4.3 million.

Kay’s AcJc was ahead of Wigg’s KdQh, and Kay needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came QcQd9d7c8s, and Wigg flopped trip queens to win the pot and eliminate Kay in fifth place.
