The 3♥ gave Wiciak a wheel and Ylitalo barreled for 600,000. Wiciak just called.

Sydenstricker was in trouble but the flop of 5♥10♦9♦ gave him plenty of outs with a flush draw and gutshot. The 10♥ turn didn't change anything but his rail exploded as the Q♠ hit on the river to give him a straight to double up.

Aubakirov checked to Shaw on the 10♦K♥9♣ flop and he continued for 550,000 Aubakirov then check-raised to 1,400,000 and Shaw called
The A♥ fell on the turn and Aubakirov went back to checking, which was met with a 1,700,000 bet from Shaw. Aubakirov announced he was all in for approximately 6,000,000 and Shaw snap-called to put Aubakirov at risk.
Daniyar Aubakirov: 9♠9♥
Carl Shaw: Q♠J♣
Shaw had flopped the nuts against Aubakirov, who was looking for the board to pair to remain in contention.
"This is a big one," Shaw said as he awaited the river.
The dealer brought the 4♠, which got an exhilarated "Yes!" from Shaw, who scooped a massive pot and eliminated Aubakirov in 14th place.
