David Baker was in the big blind but his hand was killed because he had gone to the bathroom and not returned to the table in time. Juan Hernandez then moved all in on the button, and Shiqi Zong took a look at his hand, looked up to the ceiling, and dropped in chips to call.

Zong: [Ks][Qc]
Hernandez: [Jc][5s]

The flop of [8s][6h][5c] shot Hernandez into the lead, and his hand would hold on the [9s] turn and [5h] river. The chips were counted out, and Zong was left with just 500,000, less than one big blind. He would bust on the next hand to Hernandez, leaving us heads up. Hernandez had a slight lead with 28 million to the 21 million of Baker.
