Matt Staples opened to 500,000 from the hijack, and Marius-Laurentiu Dinu defended the big blind.

On the Q♦8♥2♣ flop, Dinu check-called a bet of 500,000 from Staples.

The 9♠ hit on the turn, and Dinu checked to his opponent.

Staples fired out a bet of 1,000,000, and Dinu asked for all of it by shipping his 3,525,000 stack into the middle.

Staples thought for a period, but made the call.

Marius-Laurentiu Dinu: J♦10♦
Matt Staples: A♥A♦

Staples had rockets but he was dead versus Dinu’s turned straight, and the 4♦ river completed the board.

Dinu now challenges Martin at the top of the standings, while Staples sustains a body blow.

Marius-Laurentiu Dinu – 9,400,000
Matt Staples – 2,925,000
