Nicholas Chong raised to 75,000, Matthew Lambrecht reraised from the big blind to 250,000, and Chong called.

The flop came 3h3c2c, Lambrecht bet 125,000, and Chong called.

The turn card was the Ks, Lambrecht checked, Chong bet 325,000, and Lambrecht called.

The river card was the 10d, Lambrecht checked, Chong bet 750,000, and Lambrecht quickly called with QsQd for two pair, queens and threes. Chong mucked, and Lambrecht won the pot — and took a narrow chip lead.

Matthew Lambrecht  –  4,800,000  (64 bb)
Nicholas Chong  –  4,550,000  (61 bb)
