Mael Chicot opened to 500,000 on the Button. Chip leader Tudor Bartha made the call from the Big Blind, and while the two of them headed to the flop, the remaining final table contestants went to enjoy their 50-minute dinner break.
Bartha donk-bet 350,000 on the flop, and Chicot made the call. Both players then checked the turn. Things got very exciting on the river, as Bartha sized up to a staggering 3,000,000. This sent Chicot deep into the tank. He started fiddling with his chips, he rocked his chair back and forth, and he looked up to the sky for guidance. Eventually, though, he made the call for most of his stack.

Bartha had improved to the straight at the river, as Chicot hit top pair. The players left the tournament area to join the others at the break. When they come back, Bartha will be the chip leader by some margin.
Tudor Bartha: 19,100,000
Mael Chicot: 1,725,000
