Bradley Wolfe was deep in the tank on a board of 2699Q after he had bet 225,000 out of the small blind. Jason Smith had raised all in from the button for around 900,000 chips. Wolfe apologized to his tablemates for taking so long before eventually putting in the call.

Wolfe turned over 22 for a full house. Smith showed A6 for a flush. With that pot, Smith was sent to the cashier's desk and Wolfe became the new chip leader of the event.
