The hand started with Anton Morgenstern opening to 200,000 from under the gun, and finding a call from Amir Lehavot on the button.
George Wong was sitting on the big blind, and raised it up to 575,000.
The rest of the field went off to break, as Morgenstern tanked over his decision for three minutes, before bumping it up to 1,000,000. Lehavot thought about his decision for several minutes, before finally opting to fold. With the decision back on Wong, he took almost two minutes to announce all in.
The bet totalled around 3,000,000, which was called.
