Oshri Azran raised from the button to 10,000,0000 and Christopher Castellan made the call from the big blind.
On the K♥5♣9♥ flop, Castellan check, Azran bet 10,000,000, and Castellan shoved all in. Azran had 35,000,000 behind and wasted no time in making the call which put him at risk.
Oshri Azran: K♣J♥
Christopher Castellan: Q♣9♦
Azran was in the lead and would join the chip leaders if his hand could hold up. If Castellan could find a way to win the hand, his stack would swell to near 200,000,000 and he would be an overwhelming chip leader.
The turn brought a 10♠ which swapped some of the outs around, and the Q♦ river improved Castellan to two pair, but also gave Azran a straight which doubled him up.
