With the final board showing on the river and about 1,100,000 already in the pot, Qiang Xu bets 450,000 from the small blind.

Frank Lagodich uses a Time Chip to tank for nearly a minute in the big blind before he calls, and Xu shows to win the pot with two pair, eights and sevens. Lagodich mucks.

Qiang Xu  –  6,850,000  (69 bb)
Frank Lagodich  –  1,800,000  (18 bb)

The next hand, Joel Micka raises UTG+1 to 225,000, Xu calls from the button, and Lagodich moves all in from the small blind. Micka and Xu both fold, and Lagodich takes the pot.
