No-Limit Hold'em

Brian Rast opened to 300,000 on the button and then called the shove by Kristopher Tong out of the big blind for 3,200,000 total.

Kristopher Tong: 99
Brian Rast: AK

The 1082 flop gave Rast a lot more equity and the A turn left Tong with just two outs. No miracle escape came on the 6 river and Tong had to settle for fifth place, which came with a payday of $303,071.
