Kyle Julius was in early position with , and he opened the pot to 325,000. Over on the button, Ruben Visser peeked down at , and that was good enough to three-bet shove for 865,000 total. When it came back to Julius, he made the quick call, and Visser was flipping for his tournament life.

Julius has squeaked back into the chip lead now with just shy of 8.5 million.
