Action folded to the hijack who raised to 400,000 only to see Andrey Coelho jam for 1,675,000 from the cutoff. Dong Chen was quick to put in the four-bet jam for just a bit more from the button which got the fold from the hijack and sent Chen and Coelho to a runout with Coelho the player at risk.
Andrey Coelho: 4♥4♦
Dong Chen: A♣K♦
The dealer spread the 6♥J♣6♣ flop before turning the 9♣ to give Chen the nut flush draw headed to the river but when it came the Q♥, Chen shipped a big pot to Coelho who held with the fours for just over a full double.

Max Pinnola limped in from under the gun, Konstantinos Nanos called in the small blind, and Drew Scott moved all in for 1,375,000 in the big blind. Pinnola deliberated and called, while Nanos folded.
Drew Scott: A♠6♣
Max Pinnola: 5♠5♥
The two were racing as the A♣8♥4♦ flop vaulted Scott in front. The 2♣ turn left him needing to fade additional wheel outs, and the 8♣ river confirmed his double.

Welcome to Day 3 of Event #1: $1,500 Mystery Millions at the 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise. The third and final day commences at 1 p.m. local time at Atlantis Resort in The Bahamas.
The opening event of the series offered a $5 million guarantee and attracted a total of 3,446 entrants across five starting flights to create a prize pool of $5,169,000. The top 338 finishers grabbed a piece of it, but all eyes are on the bracelet and top prize of $420,000.
Only 34 players return for the third and final day, and Maria Ho sits atop the leaderboard with 11,950,000 in chips for just under 40 big blinds when play resumes. The Women in Poker Hall of Fame inductee and TV broadcaster/commentator will be looking to leverage her top stack as she attempts to snag her first WSOP bracelet to add to her extensive poker résumé.
Other players making their way back to the felt include Rayan Chamas (11,225,000), three-time bracelet winner Davidi Kitai (5,950,000), Sam Greenwood (5,825,000), Mikita Badziakouski (5,350,000), two-time bracelet winner David Peters (4,350,000), and Phil Hellmuth (650,000), who returns as the short stack yet has an opportunity to claim a record-breaking 18th bracelet.
