After a flop of Qd7c3h, the big blind bet 400,000, Nir Cohen called from middle position, and Brandon Lulov called from the hijack.

The turn card was the Kc, the big blind checked, and Cohen bet 835,000. Lulov tanked for a while before he called, and the big blind folded.

The river card was the 6h, and both players checked. Cohen showed KsQs for two pair, kings and queens, and Lulov flashed AcQc for a pair of queens with a missed flush draw before he mucked. Cohen won the pot with his two pair to build his stack up over 7.2 million in chips.

Nir Cohen  –  7,260,000  (121 bb)
Brandon Lulov  –  2,075,000  (35 bb)

With 42 players remaining from a field of 6,134, the average chip stack is about 2,920,000 (49 big blinds). The field is in the money, and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $4,960 each.

The field will be playing until about 2:00 am tonight, and then return to finish the tournament tomorrow (Monday) at 3:00 pm EST.
