Eelis Parssinen raised to 2,100,000 from the button. In the big blind, Ezra Abu Gazal sat riffling his chips for about a moment before shoving all in for 4,650,000. Parssinen called.

Ezra Abu Gazal: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Eelis Parssinen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Abu Gazal's rail began chanting for hearts and got their wish as the board ran out {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, giving Abu Gazal a flush and the double up.

A few minutes earlier, Parssinen had complained to the tournament floor that Abu Gazal's supporters were leaning in too close to the table. The floor had to force them to move over to the side, while Parssinen switched seats.
