From under the gun, Jimmy Torres announced all-in and Eric Tsai on the button asked for an exact count to then call. Chao-Ting Cheng folded in the small blind and Junnie Pamplona then vaulted out of his chair to study the opponents. Some 25 seconds passed when Pamplona then moved all-in over the top.
His isolation shove was for 4,495,000 and Tsai folded, mentioning in the table chat to have folded jacks.
Jimmy Torres: 8?7?
Junnie Pamplona: K?K?
Pamplona had already celebrated before the cards were shown as he had forced out Tsai. The Q?9?2?9?Q? board left Torres drawing dead on the turn and Pamplona vaulted into the lead with three players remaining.
