After a limp from Damien Franco in the small blind, Thai Ha raised to 700,000 from the big blind, but then Franco three-bet to 1,800,000.
After some thought, Ha four-bet jammed for 5,400,000 and Franco tossed out a chip to make the big call.
Ha: 10♥10♠
Franco: K♦Q♦
Ha would need to hold to stay alive in this massive flip, and the flop of 7♥9♦8♣ was ideal for him as he improved to a straight draw. The turn 4♦ was a bit of a scare card as Franco now had two overs and a flush draw, and the 10♦ was just brutal as Ha improved to top set by Franco connected with his flush to send him to the payout desk in 5th place.
Franco now holds a dominant chip lead with over 11,000,000.
Franco - 11,200,000
Ha - 0
