From the hijack, Ajay Chabra (pictured above left) opens to 80,000 before Ryan Tosoc (pictured above right) calls next to speak in the cutoff.

With the action on Scott Matte (pictured below) in the small blind, he pushes all in for 655,000. Chabra calls once it’s back on him before Tosoc back-raise shoves all in for 2,110,000 total.

Chabra was now faced with another all in, and again, Chabra calls to put both Tosoc and Matte at risk.

Tosoc was in dominating shape against Chabra, while Matte had three live outs to triple up his short stack.

The dealer spread a Club 6Heart 7Diamond 7 flop to keep Tosoc in the lead, and when the turn fell the Club 2, he would need to fade an ace or queen to win the entire pot.

The river lands the Club 8 and Matte would be eliminated in 12th place while Tosoc would more then double up to take the chip lead off Chabra.

Ryan Tosoc – 4,935,000
Ajay Chabra – 4,600,000
Scott Matte – Eliminated in 12th place ($77,189)
