Maxwell Young raised from the small blind to 1,600,000, and Roy Young called from the big blind.

The flop came Qs10d9h, Maxwell checked, Roy bet 3,300,000, and Maxwell called.

The turn card was the 2d, Maxwell checked, Roy moved all in for 10,000,000, and Maxwell called with a stack of 12,300,000 and turned over Qc8c for a pair of queens with a gutshot straight draw.

Roy turned over Qh6d for a pair of queens with a lower kicker, though he did have quite a few outs to a chop.

But the river card was the 8s, and Maxwell won the pot with two pair, queens and eights, to eliminate Roy in third place.
