Corral Goes on Rampage During Final Hands
A completed board of 9♣A♥9♣2♣5♥ was in the middle in a pot between Juan Corral under the gun and Kevin Houghton in middle postion, along with a massive pot of 1,500,000.
Corral then jammed all in, covering the 625,000 chips of Houghton and sending him into the tank. After spending all his time banks, Houghton eventually found a fold, seeing the large pile of chips being sent to Corral.
One hand later, Raoul Kanme opened to 60,000 in the cutoff. Aren Bezhanyan then committed his stack of 395,000 from the small blind, which Corral four-bet to 740,000 in the big blind, enough to put Kanme all-in.
Kanme weighed his options for a bit before getting out of the way, leaving the other two players to show down.
Aren Bezhanyan: K♥9♣ 
Juan Corral: A♦Q♥
Bezhanyan took the lead on the 9♠6♣5♦ flop, but Corral retaliated on the Q♦ turn, making the higher pair. The 5♣ river upgraded both players to two pair, with Corral's queens and fives taking the pot and eliminating his opponent.
