Level 41 : Blinds 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Kaihung Hu opened to 5,500,000 from the cutoff and he was called by Georgios Skarparis on the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of 7?K?Q? and Hu checked. Skarparis took this opportunity to bet 6,500,000, then after Hu called, he fired a second barrel of 12,000,000 on the 2? turn. Hu check-called once again.

Hu checked the 8? river and Skarparis decided to go all-in for approximately 71,200,000. Hu went deep into the tank for several minutes, until the clock was called. During the last seconds he had, Hu decided to call for his last 32,000,000.

Kaihung Hu: K?9?? All in
Georgios Skarparis:?K?10?

Hu called with top pair, but Skarparis had the same pair but with a better kicker. Hu was eliminated in 7th place for $93,171, while Skarparis now holds almost half of the chips in play.
