Valentin Imperatore was under the gun when he opened with Q♥9♥. Timothe Labassa called from the cutoff, but Dylan Cechowski in the big blind three-bet to 6,500,000. He made Imperatore fold, but Labassa four-bet all-in. Cechowski snap-called, being the player at risk for 11,000,000.
Dylan Cechowski: A♣K♦
Timothe Labassa: 10♣10♠
Cechowski was hoping for aces, kings and diamonds after the 9♦6♦Q♦ flop. The 4♠ turn didn't change anything, and there was no improvement with the 6♣ river so Cechowski lost the flip and he was sent to the rail.
