Level 34 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Denis Brosnahan had done well to navigate his way to heads-up with Derek Baker but was working with a huge chip deficit.

The first few hands of heads-up play involved Baker raising and taking or Brosnahan folding from the small blind, Brosnahan waiting for an opportunity to get a double-up.

In approximately the sixth hand of heads up play, Brosnahan moved all in for 4,400,000 and was called by Baker.

Denis Brosnahan: K3
Derek Baker: A6

Baker was ahead with ace-high versus king-high, but the K105 flop propelled Brosnahan into the lead with a pair of kings. However hopes of a famous comeback were dashed by the A turn, sending Baker back in front with a pair of aces.

The 2 completed the runout and Derek Baker celebrated his victory with his rail.
