Han Liu had won a few pots without showdown when he called button Brad Ruben's raise to 180,000 from the big blind. They both took one card, after which Liu led out for 400,000, about a third of his remaining chips.

Ruben then put him all-in for 1,225,000, which sent Liu into the tank.

"Do you really have that good of a hand?" he pondered, mostly to himself. "GG," he eventually stated as he slammed in his last chips.

Ruben turned over 9X 7X 6X 3X 2X, which was enough to beat the 10X 9X 7X 6X 5X of Liu. The two players shook hands before Liu departed to pick up the cash awarded for his runner-up finish.
