Valentin Imperatore was under the gun when he opened with Q?9?. Timothe Labassa called from the cutoff, but Dylan Cechowski in the big blind three-bet to 6,500,000. He made Imperatore fold, but Labassa four-bet all-in. Cechowski snap-called, being the player at risk for 11,000,000.
Dylan Cechowski: A?K??
Timothe Labassa: 10?10?
Cechowski was hoping for aces, kings and diamonds after the 9?6?Q? flop. The 4? turn didn't change anything, and there was no improvement with the 6? river so Cechowski lost the flip and he was sent to the rail.
