"Ohhhhhh no!" Miguel Borrero blurted, shooting out of his chair on Table 3.

When we arrived on the scene, the board was completed {8-}{7-}{5-}{6-}{5-}. Miguel Borrero had {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} in front of him for sixes full of fives, but he was pipped by Laurence Wolf's {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a better full house.

According to Jeff Madsen, Borrero bet out on the flop and Wolf put in a raise. Borrero called. On the turn, Borrero check-called a bet, and the money went all in on the river.

Borrero collected himself then exited the tournament area, while Wolf is up to 1.5 million chips.

Junayed Khan - KO'd

Junayed Khan raised to 10,000 on the button, Mauricio Dasilva called in the small blind, and Shankar Pillai three-bet to 60,000 out of the big blind. Khan moved all in, Dasilva folded, and Pillai casually tossed forward a single T25,000 chip, signifying a call.

Khan: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Pillai: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The dealer rapped the table, burned a card, and deliver an action flop of {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Pillai flopped a set of fives, but Khan was still drawing live with two clubs.

The turn was a third club - the {8-Clubs} - giving Khan a flush, but the river was a second eight - the {8-Diamonds} - giving Pillai a full house.

After the crazy runout, Khan was eliminated and Pillai is up to 570,000 chips.
