According to a player, Joseph Cheong opened to 65,000 under the gun and Manuel Ruivo in the big blind three-bet to 290,000 and had to face Cheong's four-bet all in for 1,282,000.

Ruivo ended up calling and the players tabled their cards:

Ruivo: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Cheong: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board fell {q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Cheong took down the pot and the huge double-up.
