Thibault Letort limped and then called when Robert Schulz raised to 2,100,000.

The dealer spread the 10♠10♥3♠ flop and Schulz continued for 1,200,000. Letort called.

The 2♣ turn was checked to the 3♥ river and Schulz checked again. Letort bet 6,000,000 and Schulz deliberated and used a time extension before he ultimately called.

Letort tabled 10♦2♦ for a full house as his opponent mucked, and the Frenchman took the pot to move into the lead.

Letort: K♣J♣

Kusnerak was in rough shape, although the 7♠6♦6♣ flop provided chop possibilities. The 9♦ turn gave Kusnerak some additional outs, but the A♣ river bricked out to eliminate him in third place for $104,357.

With a huge pot already in the middle on a 10♣9♥5♠7♣ board, Robert Schulz ended up getting in his remaining 5,625,000 against Daniel Kusnerak.

Schulz: 10♦10♥
Kusnerak: J♣8♣

It was a huge cooler for a massive pot with a turned straight over top set. Kusnerak was in great shape to become a big chipleader, but the 5♣ spiked the river to improve Schulz to a boat for the pivotal pot.
