Loni Hui raised from under the gun, Roman Hrabec called in the small blind, and Jose Nadal called in the big blind.

The flop was Td8h3s and action checked to Hui who continued for 300,000.  Only Hrabec called.

The turn was the 4s, Hrabec checked, and Hui checked.

The river was the 4d, Hrabec bet 200,000, Hui raised to 800,000, and Hrabec thought for a while before he three-bet all in for 4,125,000.

Hui used a Time Chip to tank for a full minute before she called all in for 3,300,000, and Hrabec showed Jh10h for two pair, tens and fours.

But Hui turned over AsAd to win the pot with a higher two pair, aces and fours, to double up into the chip lead.

Loni Hui  –  7,600,000  (101 bb)
Roman Hrabec  –  825,000  (11 bb)

With 11 players remaining from a field of 673, the average chip stack is around 3,050,000 (41 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $46,000 each.

They will play as many 90-minute levels as it takes to reach the final nine players for tomorrow’s final table.
