Phua used a time-bank and then decided to shove for more, around 1,700,000. Badziakouski looked pained and reluctantly folded but wanted to keep the cards with him.
Rainer Kempe:
Paul Phua: 
The flop came 
and Badziakouski threw his cards in the muck.
The turn was the 
which meant that a six on the river would chop the pot.
But the river completed the board with the 
for Phua to hit the higher pair of queens to send Kempe packing.
