Andreas Krause raised to 2,000,000 on the button with 8♠8♥ and Xiaohua Yang defended A♥9♦ in the big blind. The 5♥9♣4♣ flop was checked by Yang, after which Krause bet 2,500,000. Yang immediately put him all in for 13,500,000 total.
Krause tanked for four minutes before the clock was called on him. He knuckled the table and gave his opponent a thumbs up before letting his cards go.
Yang tabled his top pair as he raked in the chips and crossed the 40-million mark.
