The beginning of heads-up play has been fairly slow, as you might expect when both players have more than 75 big blinds. This was the biggest hand they’ve played so far:

Dimitri Vorbe raised from the button to 600,000, AP Louis Garza reraised to 1,750,000, and Vorbe called.

The flop came Kh9d2c, Garza bet 1,050,000, and Vorbe called.

The turn card was the 9c, Garza checked, Vorbe bet 2,000,000, and Garza thought for a while before he folded. Vorbe took the pot.

AP Louis Garza  –  26,500,000  (106 bb)
Dimitri Vorbe  –  20,750,000  (83 bb)
