Asher Conniff opened to 130,000 under the gun, and Bundhit Intachai three-bet to 330,000. Conniff called.

The flop came AcTc7c. Intachai continued for 450,000, and Conniff check-raised to 975,000. Intachai moved all in for about 2,200,000 total, and Conniff called to put the largest pot of the tournament up for grabs.

Conniff: 7d7h (set of sevens)
Intachai: AhQs (pair of aces)

Intachai was drawing dead to runner-runner, and the turn and river bricked off to eliminate him in 32nd place. Stacking that pot, Conniff moved into a huge chip lead with well over 100 big blinds.

Asher Conniff – 7,400,000 (123 bb)
