Michael Wang raised from the cutoff to 40,000, Ubaid Habib moved all in from the button for 290,000, and AP Louis Garza tanked for a while in the small blind before he called. Wang quickly folded Jd10c face up.

Habib turned over 6s6h, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Garza’s KsKc.

The board came AsAh9d6cJs, and Habib spiked a six on the turn to win the pot with a full house, sixes full of aces, and double up in chips.

“I’m going to win this tournament,” said Habib. “Zero doubt.”

Ubaid Habib  –  660,000  (33 bb)
Michael Wang  –  2,600,000  (130 bb)
AP Louis Garza  –  1,240,000  (62 bb)

Action will continue tonight until the end of this level (about 12:20 am).
