Kyle Cartwright jammed for 940,000 from the small blind, and Brent Cunningham called off his last 885,000 in the big blind.

Kyle Cartwright: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Brent Cunningham: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Cunningham's ace-high held on the {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, but the {j-Hearts} fell on the turn, giving Cartwright a gutshot to go with his live cards. The {5-Diamonds} hit the river, and Cartwright was left with under a single big blind, which he lost in the next hand to Cunningham.
