Rodney Ramalho and Geoffrey Hum have just played perhaps the defining hand of the tournament. The two players have been exchanging the chip lead for some time, and so both players were relatively cautious preflop. Then the flop was dealt… and everything blew up.

Geoffrey led out, only to find Rodney all-in for what turned out to be 800K. Geoffrey thought about it for a minute and sensed that he could be behind, but was never going to fold a flopped set of Jacks.

Rodney:
Geoffrey was drawing very slim and found no relief in the turn and river
and Rodney stacked a huge pot. He’s now up to about 2M in chips.
