Jair Beltran opens to 105,000 and is three-bet by Brad Owen to 300,000, but then Shane Chief moves all in for 905,000 after using a time bank. Beltran then shoves over the top for much more and the action is back on Owen. 

“Well, I guess I’m going to fold this,” he sighs as he flashes Heart QDiamond Q before he tosses them into the muck, getting a surprised reaction from the table. 

At first, it seems like a superb fold, as Beltran tables Spade KHeart K and Chief holdsHeart ADiamond K, but the flop comes out Club QDiamond 9Club J and would have given him top set. 

“Of course,” he mutters as the runout of Club 5Spade 7 awards Beltran and his kings the pot while Chief is eliminated. 

Jair Beltran – 3,500,000 (70 bb)
Brad Owen – 3,150,000 (63 bb)
Shane Chief – Eliminated in 23rd place (CAD $9,800)
