Sebastian Toro Henao raised from the hijack to 250,000, and John Howe called from the button.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of 9h5c3c10h, Henao bet 500,000, and Howe called. There was 1,825,000 in the pot at this point.

The river card was the 7d, Henao checked, and Howe quickly moved all in for 6,200,000. Henao thought for a while, saying, “That’s a big bet.”

Henao thought for a little longer before he asked for an exact count, and it was 6,200,000. Henao asked if Howe would show his cards if Henao folded, but Howe didn’t seem to give a solid answer.

Henao went into the tank for a very long time. Several minutes at least. Henao counted out enough chips to call the 6.2 million, and if he called and lost, he still would have had a nice stack of about 12.55 million.

Henao eventually seemed to apologize for taking so long, but Howe didn’t seem concerned, saying, “It’s a big decision.”

A short while after that, Henao folded, and Howe immediately showed his Ah2s for an ace-high bluff.

“Let’s go!” said Howe. “Power poker, baby.”

John Howe  –  8,025,000  (64 bb)
Sebastian Toro Henao  –  18,750,000  (150 bb)

With 11 players remaining from a field of 4,783, the average chip stack is around 8,700,000 (70 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $15,900 each.
