Le Tieu limped from the button for 60,000, Angel Martinez-Vasquez completed the small blind, and Richard Davis raised from the big blind to 500,000. Tieu called, and Martinez-Vasquez folded.

The flop came Ad10s5h, Davis bet 250,000, and Tieu quickly called.

The turn card paired the board with the 5c, and both players checked.

The river card was the 4h, Davis bet 600,000, and Tieu tanked for a very long time before he called. Davis showed QdJd for a bluff, but Tieu turned over Qc10h to win the pot with two pair, tens and fives, and increase his chip lead.

Le Tieu  –  4,350,000  (87 bb)
Richard Davis  –  1,140,000  (23 bb)
