The player under-the-gun opened to 90,000 and got calls from three players including Alexandru Papazian in the small blind.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and the UTG player continued with a bet of 150,000. Action folded to Papazian who raised to 360,000. The UTG player asked for the amount and then three-bet shoved all-in. Papazian snap-called.

Papazian: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Papazian flops trip queens to take the lead and had his opponent drawing dead on the turn with the {q-Hearts}, giving him quads.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board and sent his opponent to the rail while Papazian is now the tournament chipleader.
