Rene Lazaro opened in early position to 200,000 and Jose Rodriguez raised in middle position to 500,000.

2019 WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Saderne, on the button, shoved for just over 2,500,000 chips. It folded around to Lazaro who put in his remaining 2,000,000 into the middle. Rodriguez, with only 1,100,000 behind, tanked for about two minutes before folding {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} face up.

Rene Lazaro: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Jeremy Saderne: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Already a massive favorite, Saderne had Lazaro eliminated on the {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop. The {3-Hearts} and {q-Spades} completed the board.

The under-the-gun player limped for 120,000 of his 145,000 total chips. Mehrdad Ghiasvand called from the cutoff and Linus Richter went all-in for about 500,000 from the button. It folded back to Ghiasvand, who called.
