With the board showing 9h7s6c4d on the turn and more than 400K already in the pot, chipleader Leon Zhivelev had a bet of 500,000 out in front of him in the cutoff, and Gus Vazquez moved all in from under the gun for 1,155,000.

Zhivelev asked for an exact count and tanked for a long time before he folded, and Vazquez took the pot — and the chip lead.

Gus Vazquez  –  2,100,000  (70 bb)
Leon Zhivelev  –  1,500,000  (50 bb)

With 31 players remaining, the average stack is around 705,000 (24 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $975 each.
