The seemingly inevitable clash of the two shorter stacks eventually unfolded.
Gyuhyuk Lee had built a small lead over Christopher Mateo when several open raises to 2,000,000 got through.
Mateo then raised to 1,200,000 out of the small blind and Lee jammed, Mateos called.
Christopher Mateos: K?J?
Gyuhyuk Lee: 6?6?
The Q?9?3? flop gave Mateo a gutshot to go with his two overcards and he nailed the 10? turn for the double as a meaningless 5? fell on the river. Mateo's double for 5,125,000 left Lee short while the local rail burst out in celebration.
