Matthew Lambrecht raised from the button to 100,000, Rafael Rodriguez reraised from the small blind to 400,000, and Nicholas Chong four-bet it from the big blind to 1,200,000.

Lambrecht quickly folded, and Rodriguez tanked for a while before he also folded. Chong took the pot to increase his chip lead.

Nicholas Chong  –  3,850,000  (77 bb)
Rafael Rodriguez  –  2,600,000  (52 bb)

With four players remaining, the average chip stack is around 2,340,000 (47 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $23,100 each.
