From the small blind, Francesco De Vivo opened to 150,000. In the big blind, Anton Wigg three-bet it right up to 425,000. After a little pause for effect, De Vivo four-bet to 1.075 million. Wigg shipped it in over the top, and De Vivo quickly called all in for his total stack of 2.92 million. With another monstrous pot up for grabs, the cards were on their backs:

De Vivo: {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

Wigg:

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

The board was a blank slate for Wigg's come-from-behind hopes. It ran out {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

, holding De Vivo's kings. With that pot, he has doubled his way into the chip lead with 5.855 million!
