Jamie Walden initiated the action with a raise to 1,200,000, which Naseem Salem called.

On the 2♦7♣10♠ flop, Salem check-called Walden's 2,200,000 bet.

Both players checked the K♠ on the turn.

When the 5♥ appeared on the river, Salem checked once more to Walden, who then bet 5,000,000. Salem went into deep thought, repeatedly counting his stack. Initially, it seemed like he was preparing to call as he separated the 5,000,000, but after several minutes of deliberation, he decided to go all in. Walden quickly folded, allowing Salem to scoop the pot.
