On the flop of , Choong check-called another bet of 250,000 from Bauer.
The turn saw Choong check and Baur blast away, this time for 850,000. The table said he was even trying to goad Choong into going all in by saying something like, "Come on you can raise we can get it all in if you want". So that's exactly what Choong did by ripping it all in for 2,500,000 more, covering Bauer.
Bauer kept true to his word and called it off, putting himself at risk.
Choong tabled for a king-high straight and Bauer showed for a ten-high flush
The river did absolutely nothing and Bauer was eliminated. Choong raked in the massive pot that boosted him to the top of the leaderboard.
