Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A massive pot was brewing right at the end of the night as Steve O'Dwyer was all in for 220,000 under the gun, Vladimir Korzinin put in his last 160,000 from the cutoff, while Seth Davies had both players covered and at risk in the small blind.

Vladimir Korzinin: A♠4♠ All in
Steve O'Dwyer: A♦K♣ All in
Seth Davies: 9♠9♦

The flop came 9♣3♣2♥ and Davies hit top set to take a big lead, while Korzinin had outs to a straight. The turn was the J♥, while the A♥ arrived on the river too late to save Korzinin and O'Dwyer as they both were sent to the rail, while Davies took the massive pot to climb past 1,000,000.
