Dan Burcham and Brad Williams got it all in preflop with Burcham at risk.
Dan Burcham: K♠Q♥ 
Brad Williams: A♥4♥
Burcham pulled ahead on the K♥9♦10♥ flop, pairing his king but would need to fade hearts or an ace to stay alive. He did exactly that when the board ran out 6♠, 4♠, earning him the big double up.
The next hand, Williams moved all in preflop and was called by Bryce Thompson who had the covering stack.
Brad Williams: A♥J♣
Bryce Thompson: K♥K♦
Thompson's kings proved to be best when the board ran out J♠3♦7♥3♠4♦, sending Williams to the rail.
