Estep:
Saunders:

It looked like another chopped pot, and then it got interesting on the two-spade flop.

“I got the bigger spade,” Estep said. “Put another spade out there.”

The dealer put the on the turn and followed that with the for the unlikely four-card spade flush double for Estep.

Welther Marmol open-shipped for 2,825,000 from the cutoff and Federico Salas reshipped for about 11,000,000 from the button. Nicholas Velentzas folded his small blind and Asher Neaman went deep into the tank in the big. After several minutes, he folded and sort of slammed the table a little bit when he saw the hands.

Marmol:
Salas:

“You had a pair?” his tablemate asked, to get a nod from Neaman.

It was looking like a chopped but the flop made everyone sit up. The turn was a blank but Salas made his heart flush on the river to send Marmol out in 18th place.
