Blinds: 500,000/1,000,000

Thomas Difrancesco (pictured above) moved all in for 6,000,000, and in the big blind, Jared Kawalsky got the count, before announcing call. Difrancesco tabled [2c][2s], and Kawalsky joked and said “you play that shit,” before revealing the other two deuces, [2h][2d].

A heart in the window meant that Kawalsky was automatically freerolling, but the flop came with two more hearts: [Kh][9h][5h] to suddenly give him an unlikely road to busting Difrancesco. The [4c] came on the turn, but sure enough, the [4h] came on the river, giving Kawalsky the flush with the [2h].

Just four remain now.
