On the button, Travis Atkins moved all in for his final 450,000. Both Jason Somerville and Yashar Darian called and the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. It wasn't until the river that Somerville bet out 150,000 and Darian folded.

Somerville opened up {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, just barely beating the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades} of Travis Atkins.

With that pot, Somerville will take the chip lead heading into heads up play. He has 5.2 million and his opponent, Yashar Darian will start with 4.25 million.
