Konstantin Held raises under the gun to 100,000, and Renji Mao uses four Time Chips to tank for more than two minutes before he moves all in from UTG+1 for 155,000.

Dmitry Nemirovsky is in the big blind, and he asks if Mao’s all-in amount gives Held the option to reraise. The dealer confirms that it does. Nemirovsky calls the 155,000.

Held reraises to 600,000, and Nemirovsky five-bets all in for 2,590,000. Held thinks for a little while before he calls, and all three players turn over their cards.

Held’s friends on the rail cheer as he takes a huge lead with a set of tens. Meanwhile, Mao picks up a gutshot straight draw for a chance at the much smaller main pot, but he’ll need a nine on the river to stay alive.

This time it’s Mao and his friends who cheer, as he survives the three-way all-in to win the main pot and triple up in chips. Held wins a massive side pot worth nearly 6.2 million to eliminate Nemirovsky in 13th place.
