Troy Sweet raised to 800,000 from the hijack with 6♦6♣ and Joseph Antar defended his big blind holding K♠J♦.

The J♣ paired Antar's jack on the river and he led out for 2,000,000. Sweet used up a time bank before deciding to make the call and Antar showed him the goods to retake the chip lead.

Tomeny was favored with his bigger suited ace and the 8♦Q♣7♥5♣6♦ runout paired his six on the river to award him the double up.
Joseph Antar called from the small blind holding 10♦9♣ and Vincent Wan checked his option in the big blind with 6♦3♣.
The 3♠8♥9♥ flop paired both players and Antar check-called a 500,000 bet from Wan.
Both players checked on the 4♦ turn, but Antar overbet the pot for 2,500,000 after the 6♣ completed the board. Wan called with his two pair and Antar was shown the bad news to send the nice pot Wan's direction.
Joseph Antar opened to 800,000 first to act and Thijs Hilberts moved all in for his last 2,650,000 from middle position. Antar called to put Hilberts at risk and a showdown was held.
Thijs Hilberts: 8♠8♥
Joseph Antar: A♦9♦
The K♣Q♦5♥ flop came safe for Hilberts, but the A♥ turn paired Antar's ace to leave Hilberts drawing to two outs.
No miracle came on the 2♦ river and Hilberts was the first player eliminated on the final table in ninth place.
Joseph Antar opened to 600,000 from middle position holding 10♦10♠ and Kahle Burns called from the small blind with K♥J♣.
