Matt Staples opened to 400,000 under the gun with A♣10♥, and Christian Martin defended with J♦9♠.

The A♠ turn spelt trouble for Staples, who called a further bet of 500,000 from Martin.

The 4♠ river was checked through, and Martin took the pot and the chip lead.

Christian Martin – 6,650,000
Matt Staples – 6,450,000
