Ben Heath raised to 625,000 from early position and found one caller in Masashi Oya from the big blind leading to a 955 flop.

Both players checked through to see the 3 hit the turn which saw both players check through again to bring the 4 out on the river.

Oya jammed from the small blind and Heath quickly called off only to see the bad news as Oya turned over the A2, showing that he had gone runner-runner to make a wheel. Heath turned up the AA before standing to exit the tournament in seventh place for $430,000.

Action folded to Nick Schulman in the small blind who came in for a raise to 1,100,000. Leon Sturm defended his big blind and came along to a flop of JK4.

Both players opted to check their action and bring the 3 out on the turn.

Schulman paused briefly before counting out a bet worth 875,000. Sturm made the call to see the Q fall on the river.

Schulman took a moment, counted out his chips and eventually decided to bet out 500,000. Sturm wasn't quick to call, though, and ended up making a raise in the amount of 3,250,000.

Schulman counted down his stack again, used a timebank and after verifying the raise amount, put out the call to see Sturm turn over the K3. Schulman quickly mucked his cards and the pot was awarded to Sturm.
