A player opened to 7,000 in late position which saw a player in the hijack call and Dan Hamm called in the big blind.
The flop came out 2♦A♦3♣ and Hamm checked to the late position player who continued for 9,000 which prompted a raise in the hijack to 28,000. In the big blind, Dan Hamm re-raised to 100,000 and the late position player call while the hijack shook his head and folded.
On the 7♥ turn, Hamm moved all in for 218,000 effective and the late position called to create the biggest pot of the tournament over the course of three days.
Opponent: 10♦8♦
Dan Hamm: A♠2♣
Hamm had flopped top and bottom against his opponent's flush draw and his opponent had called to create a pot worth over 200 big blinds. The river 6♥ was a clean river for Hamm who took a huge chip lead over the rest of the field as he wished his opponent good game.

A player opened to 6,000 in early position and action folded around to Jaymie Virtusio who moved all in for 17,000 which saw action fold back around to the raiser who called.
Jaymie Virtusio: 3♠3♥
Opponent: K♣10♥
Virtusio had six overcards she needed to fade, and the number increased on the J♠7♥J♣ flop. The turn 8♥ put even more outs to fade as her opponent picked up more counterfeit outs as well as a straight draw, but the river 3♦ gave Virtusio a full house and she secured the double to survive in the flight.
