Action was picked up with the cards on their backs as the hijack was all-in for 80,000 against Luis Mendoza from middle position.
Hijack: K♥K♦
Luis Mendoza: A♦A♣
It was an unavoidable cooler between the two best starting hands. However, the K♣9♣8♣ flop gave the hijack top set to pull into the lead, but Mendoza had the ace of clubs. The 2♠ turn changed nothing until the 6♣ river gave Mendoza the nut flush to bring the field to its final 19.
On the first hand of hand-for-hand, a player opened from under the gun before Douglas Dossett jamemd for 220,000 from middle position. On the button, Pat Lyons announced "Gamble," and called all-in for 200,000.
Pat Lyons: 10♠10♦
Douglas Dossett: A♠A♣
Lyons needed help to stay alive and did not find any on the J♥6♣2♣8♦8♣ runout as he hit the exit on the stone bubble.
