Kahle Burns opened to 1,200,000 on the button and Michael Gathy moved all in for 10,200,000 from the big blind. Burns quickly called to put Gathy at risk and hands were turned face up.
Michael Gathy: 4♠4♣
Kahle Burns: K♦K♥
Burns found another great spot with an overpair against an underpair, and the J♠2♣5♣10♥ flop and turn left Gathy one card from elimination.
However, the 4♦ appeared on the river — improving Gathy to an unlikely set on the end to award him a dramatic double up.

Kahle Burns opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 3,500,000 by Michael Gathy on the button. Michael Tomeny then moved all in for his last 6,700,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Burns and a call from Gathy to be put at risk.
Michael Gathy: K♣3♣
Michael Tomeny: A♦K♥
Gathy found himself dominated against Tomeny's Big Slick, and the 5♦7♠Q♣J♥A♠ runout needlessly improved Tomeny to a pair of aces to score him another double up.

Cassell check-called an 800,000 bet from Gathy on the Q♣4♣3♥ flop and then both players checked on the 4♦ turn and 6♣ river.
Gathy turned over his Big Slick and claimed the pot for a nice pickup.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Joseph Antar shoved from the small blind to put Michael Tomeny all in for his last 4,550,000 in the big blind.
Michael Tomeny: 6♠6♣
Joseph Antar: A♠2♦
The 3♦4♦8♦ flop kept Tomeny ahead with his sixes, but the 5♣ turn improved Antar to a wheel to take over the lead.
Tomeny was looking for a deuce or a seven on the river to keep his final table run alive, and sure enough, the 2♠ showed up on the river to award Tomeny the double up with a higher straight.

Vincent Wan raised to 1,200,000 from the hijack and Kahle Burns called on the button for a heads-up pot.
Burns called a 1,500,000 bet from Wan on the 6♦K♠9♣ flop and then both players checked on the 2♣ turn.
The 7♥ completed the board and Wan fired 4,000,000 into the middle. Burns used up a time bank and then shoved to put Wan all in for his last 5,400,000 behind.
Wan didn't like it, but eventually put in a reluctant call.
Burns turned over 10♦8♦ for a rivered straight and Wan showed he held K♦Q♥ for top pair — eliminating him in sixth place and giving Burns a commanding chip lead.
