Nichan Khorchidian raised to 600,000 in the cutoff, which Gytis Lazauninkas three-bet to 1,700,000 on the button. Khorchidian announced an all-in bet after spending a time bank, and Lazauninkas snap-called for his stack of 5,500,000.
Gytis Lazauninkas: 9♥9♣ 
Nichan Khorchidian: A♦6♥
Khorchidian needed an ace to knock out Lazauninkas, but the deck had none in store for him. The runout came 10♣2♣K♥2♥7♣ instead, doubling up Lazauninkas to be among the chipleaders.
