With the final board showing Spade JClub 5Heart 4Heart 9Club K on the river and about 1.3 million already in the pot, Josh Arieh bets 500,000 from under the gun.

Michael O’Malley moves all in from UTG+1 for 1,100,000, and Arieh goes into the tank.

Arieh uses three of his Time Chips to tank for more than two minutes before he folds, and O’Malley lets Arieh choose one of O’Malley’s cards to expose.

Arieh picks a card, and it’s the Diamond 9, so O’Malley had at least a pair of nines as he takes the pot.

Michael O’Malley  –  2,940,000  (59 bb)
Josh Arieh  –  1,860,000  (37 bb)
