Michael Kanaan opened to 30,000 on the button and was three-bet to 75,000 by Sheldon Mayer in the small blind. Action was back on Kanaan, who four-bet to 180,000. Mayer called.
Mayer check-called a 100,000 bet on the 3♣6♥2♣ flop and checked again on the 3♦ turn. Kanaan continued for 160,000 and Mayer announced he was all in, which was enough to put Kanaan all in for his last 420,000.
Kanaan quickly flung his cards into the muck and Mayer took down the large pot.
At another table, Joe Hachem was eliminated.

Heads-up on flop of 6♦A♣2♣ Sooriya Rajeswaran checked from the cutoff and called a 70,000 bet from Victor Dai, who was on the button.
Both players checked on the 4♦ turn and then Rajeswaran led out for 35,000 on the J♣ river. Dai responded by going all in, and Rajeswaran sat back in his seat as he contemplated his decision. Rajeswaran eventually landed on a call and Dai turned over 9♣8♣ for a flush.
Rajeswaran showed he held A♠10♠ for a pair of aces and wished his tablemates good luck as he exited the tournament area.

Michael Gathy: J♦J♣
