Hans Joaquim Hein opens to 225,000 in early position, and Thomas Kearney three-bets to 615,000 on the button. Action freezes on Zvi Stern in the small blind, and he tanks for long enough that the clock is called. Stern eventually folds, and Randall Clinger is in the big blind.
"Sir, I would like to wager all of my betting units," Clinger says, moving all in for 1,450,000. "Two laps!" he yells, darting out of his chair and running twice around the table.

"Oh my god, aces?!" Kearney's rail yells. "Aces!"
