Daniel Smith raised to 250,000 from the button, and Chris Yong jammed for 2,000,000.

Smith thought it through for a bit, but made the call with the covering stack.

Daniel Smith: K♣J♣
Chris Yong: K♦7♦

With the title on the line, Yong was crushed.

Any worries Smith had about a sweat were swept aside when he flopped Yong dead on the 10♣4♣2♣ flop.

A huge smile broke out over Smith’s face as he looked over to his rail, who exploded in celebration, the K♥6♦ turn and river completing the board.

Smith and Yong shook hands, and Smith grabbed the trophy and hoisted it above his head, overjoyed with the win.

Daniel Smith – 9,500,000
Chris Yong – 0
