Dan Sepiol was all in for over 1,000,000 against Nicholas Seward across the table.

Dan Sepiol: AK All in
Nicholas Seward: A10

Sepiol had the better kicker but couldn't fade a runout of 10AQ45 to send him out ahead of the final table in what Drake Kemper described as "WPT on WPT violence."

"Hard to stop Seward right now," said Jesse Lonis.
