Antonin Hays (pictured below) opened from the button and faced a 3-bet from one of the chip leaders, Nikolaos Konstas, in the big blind to 1 million. Hays took his time before shoving his 4 million stack, and Konstas snap-called.
- Nikolaos Konstas – Q♠Q♦
- Antonin Hays – A♣J♥
The flop came J♠K♦10♦, giving Hays a pair but also reducing his outs, as any ace would complete Konstas’s straight. The turn was 3♥, and Hays was already up with his backpack on, ready to go, but the dealer delivered the J♦ on the river, giving Hays trips and a pot worth over 8 million!
Antonin Hays – 8,200,000
Nikolaos Konstas – 7,000,000
