Naing Thu raised from the button, Tyler Montoya moved all in from the small blind for 1,175,000, and Thu called with As3h.

Montoya turned over AcJd, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 10c7h3c9c7c — Thu paired his three on the flop to take the lead, but Montoya rivered a club flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

Tyler Montoya  –  2,500,000  (33 bb)
