Level 39 : Blinds 6,000,000/12,000,000, 12,000,000 ante

Yinan Zhou just called on the button and Marcelo Aziz shoved all in for his last 285,000,000 in the big blind. Zhou snap-called and started a pre-mature celebration with his rail after seeing the cards.

Marcelo Aziz: K♣6♦ All in
Yinan Zhou: A♣6♣

Once again, Zhou found himself in a dominating position as he couldn't bare to watch the cards hit the felt. The dealer fanned the flop of J♦7♦5♥ which left Zhou in the lead with his ace-high. The 6♥ on the turn gave both players a pair of sixes but Aziz was down to just three outs.

The river was the 6♠ and the two embraced in a handshake as the rail erupted in celebration. Aziz was eliminated in second place and Zhou was overcome with emotion, becoming the 2024 WSOP Super Main Event champion.
