Andreas Christoforou raised to 2,000,000 from the button and Liran Twito shoved for 22,300,000. Christoforou called his friends over before making the call and then put in the chips for the actual call.

Liran Twito: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Andreas Christoforou: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades} for Twito to stay ahead with the higher kicker but Christoforou picked up the flush draw.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} for Christoforou to hit the flush indeed and for the rail to explode.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} to complete the board with no extra club and Twito was eliminated in second place for $416,245.

The rail all cheered and the dealers came on stage for the winner's ceremony as Christoforou claimed the win and the first-place prize of $565,157.

A recap of today's action is to follow.
