It was the end of the road for William Sandberg after a hand broke out between Sandberg and Toan Nguyen in the blinds.

Nguyen limped from the small blind, and Sandberg checked his option in the big blind.

The flop fanned out K♦J♦10♠, which led to a check from Nguyen. Sandberg went all-in for 2,150,000, and was called by Nguyen to be at risk.

William Sandberg: Q♥5♥All in
Toan Nguyen: J♣3♣

Sandberg needed to improve as he was behind the pair of jacks from Nguyen.

The 6♦ turn and the 8♦ river did not deliver any of the outs Sandberg needed to eliminate him in third place.

Sandberg earned $43,300 for his finish.

Chris Nelson jammed from the small blind for 1,200,000 and was called by Sasha Sabbaghian in the big blind to put Nelson at risk for his tournament life.

Chris Nelson: 10♦7♦All in
Sasha Sabbaghian: K♦K♥

Sabbaghian had Nelson's hand in a deep hole. The A♣4♣2♥ flop did nothing to create any drama, but the 10♥ turn did give Nelson some life with a pair of tens.

The 4♥ river would be the last card Nelson would see in this tournament as Sabbaghian continued to run hot as the last three players entered the final stretch.

Sasha Sabbaghian shoved from the small blind, and after a long thought, Brandon Harper opted to make the call for roughly 6,000,000 to put himself at risk and create a massive pot.

Brandon Harper: K♦Q♥All in
Sasha Sabbaghian: 3♦3♣

The queen was the first card in the window, but it was followed by a card Harper didn't want to see as the flop came 5♦3♠Q♠ to give Harper top pair, but Sabbaghian a set of threes.

The J♣ turn effectively ended the hand, and the 2♦ completed the board to eliminate Harper and make Sabbaghian the firm chip leader with four left.

Harper earned $24,320 for his effort.

Sasha Sabbaghian raised to 500,000 from the cutoff before William Sandberg defended his big blind to send them to a flop.

The 8♠Q♥2♦ flop led to a bet from Sandberg for 350,000, which was called by Sabbaghian.

Both players checked the 9♠ turn before the 6♦ peeled on the river.

Sandberg bet 500,000, and was called by Sabbaghian.

Sandberg showed 8♦7♦ for a pair of eights, but it was no good as Sabbaghian showed Q♣10♠ for a pair of queens.

Chris Nelson raised to 400,000 from under the gun before Brandon Harper went all-in for 2,075,000 from the button. Nelson called after some deliberation to put Harper at risk.

Brandon Harper: Q♣Q♥All in
Chris Nelson: 7♠7♣

Harper was well ahead before the flop, and that lead only increased after the flop as it came A♥3♠Q♠ to give Harper a set.

The 10♥ turn and the 4♣ river sealed it for Harper.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Chris Nelson raised to 500,000 from the small blind, and Sasha Sabbaghian responded with an all-in from the big blind. Nelson used a time bank before he called to put himself at risk.

Chris Nelson: A♣5♣All in
Sasha Sabbaghian: Q♦J♣

Nelson received a favorable flop when it fanned out A♥4♥4♠.

The A♠ turn upgraded Nelson to a full house and sealed the deal as the meaningless 7♥ hit the river.

Shahin Shojaeyan went all-in from under the gun for 1,775,000. It folded to Sasha Sabbaghian in the small blind who went all-in to put Shojaeyan at risk.

Shahin Shojaeyan: 5♦5♥All in
Sasha Sabbaghian: A♥4♥

Shojaeyan was ahead and appeared poised for a double when the five was the first card in the window, but the rest of the flop was not nearly as appealing to Shojaeyan as the flop fanned out 2♠3♥5♠ to give Sabbaghian a straight and Shojaeyan a set of fives.

The 6♠ turn did not pair the board, and the Q♦ river was a brick for Shojaeyan to eliminate him in sixth place.

Shojaeyan earned $19,380 for his effort.

Toan Nguyen opened the action with a raise to 450,000 from the small blind. William Sandberg defended from the big blind to take them to a flop.

The J♥Q♦3♥ flop led to a bet of 350,000 from Nguyen. Sandberg called once again.

Nguyen did not slow down on the 6♠ turn and jammed to put Sandberg all-in. Sandberg went into the tank and played a time chip before he opted to call for 1,825,000.

William Sandberg: J♠5♠All in
Toan Nguyen: K♣9♠

Sandberg made the correct call with his pair of jacks, but Nguyen could still win with a king or ten.

The A♥ river did not change the standings as Sandberg secured the double.
