The flop comes Spade 8Club 7Spade 2, Willis checks, Pak bets 1,100,000, and Willis check-raises all in for 10,900,000.

Pak uses a Time Chip to tank for a while before he calls with Spade 10Spade 4 (spade flush draw), and Willis turns over Heart JHeart 7 for a pair of sevens. Willis needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Spade K, the river card is the Spade J, and Pak clinches the pot on the turn with a spade flush to eliminate Willis in ninth place.
