Michael Amato raised under the gun, and Ian Cohen called from the big blind.

The flop came AhQc9c, Cohen checked, Amato bet 250,000, and Cohen check-raised to 725,000. Amato called.

The turn card was the 3s, Cohen bet 475,000, and Amato called.

The river card was the 6s, Cohen moved all in for 2,275,000, and Amato thought for a bit before he called with AdQh for a flopped two pair.

But Cohen turned over 9s9d to win the pot with a flopped set of nines and double up in chips.

Ian Cohen  –  7,650,000  (60 bb)
Michael Amato  –  1,700,000  (14 bb)

With 10 players remaining from a field of 1,417, the average chip stack is around 7,075,000 (57 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $65,000 each.
