"MyCousinVinny5" Four Bet Shoves Preflop

"MyCousinVinny5" raised to 300,000, "Turkeyleg" called, and "pure_reason" three bet to 1,320,000. "MyCousinVinny5" didn't take long to four bet shove for just under 10 million, and "pure_reason" thought for a bit before folding. With that pot, "MyCousinVinny5" is back in the chip lead with over 12 million.

"BlackCoffee" Gets Lucky to Double

Down to his final 2.2 million, "BlackCoffee" moved all in with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, only to see chip leader "MyCousinVinny5" wake up with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} gave "BlackCoffee" the nut flush draw, and another heart on the turn would give him that flush. "BlackCoffee" doubles to 4,632,452, while "MyCousinVinny5" is still the comfortable leader.

"BlackCoffee" and "Dise57" Trade Doubles

Fresh off of that last double up, "BlackCoffee" would go on to secure another double not long after. This time, he got it in good, holding Ace-King to the Ace-Queen of "Dise57." Big Slick would hold for "BlackCoffee", and he would double up to over ten million.

On the next hand, the two would battle again. This time, "Dise57" was the short stack with {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, while "BlackCoffee" had pocket fours. An ace on the flop meant that "Dise57" would win this hand, though "BlackCoffee" ended up better off after the two hands.

"pure_reason" Eliminated in 5th Place ($4,070)

"pure_reason" came oh so close to back-to-back titles, but his end in this Main Event came to a rather brutal ending. In this hand, "MyCousinVinny5" raised to 400,000, and "pure_reason" would three bet it to just 1,440,000. Back to "MyCousinVinny5", he would shove all in with pocket nines, and "pure_reason" would call with pocket jacks.

A nine would come right on the flop, and "pure_reason" was unable to hit a two outer himself. This extends "MyCousinVinny5" lead even more, as he has over half of the chips in play.

"BlackCoffee" Eliminated in 4th Place ($5,535)

After a raise of 320,000 from "BlackCoffee", "MyCousinVinny5" three bet to 1,040,000. "BlackCoffee" called, and the flop came down {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. "MyCousinVinny5" fired 1,280,000, "BlackCoffee" called, and the {Ah] came on the turn. "MyCousinVinny5" bet again, 2,160,000, this time, "BlackCoffee" called, and the {4-Spades} completed a scary looking board.

"MyCousinVinny5" kept his foot on the gas, betting enough to put "BlackCoffee" all in. He thought for about a minute before calling with {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a set. However, "MyCousinVinny5" had rivered a straight with {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} giving him a massive pot, and an overwhelming chip lead.

"Dise57" Eliminated in 3rd Place ($8,140)

"Dise57" had already gotten lucky once to score a double up through "MyCousinVinny5", and he would have to do it again after getting his chips in with {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. He was dominated by the {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of "Turkeyleg", and the ten kicker would continue to play after the board came down {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

This leaves just two players now, with "MyCousinVinny5" still holding a comfortable chip lead.

"Turkeyleg" Doubles Into the Chip Lead

There was already about 2.2 million chips in the middle when the turn came down on a board showing {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}. "MyCousinVinny5" checked to "Turkeyleg", who bet 1,594,754. "MyCousinVinny5" would come out with a check raise to 4,200,000, but "Turkeyleg" wasn't going anywhere, as he shoved all in.

"MyCousinVinny5" called with {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for two pair, but he was in dire straits, as "Turkeyleg" had {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for a better two pair. Another ace on the river gave "Turkeyleg" a full house, and in the process, the chip lead.
