Christopher Funari and Michael Baumann were heads-up to the river with the completed board reading K♦5♣2♣Q♥9♣ with about 450,000 in the middle already.
Funari checked to Baumann who bet 130,000, and Funari put in the call. However, he got the bad news as Baumann tabled A♦A♣, and his overpair was good as Funari showed that he called him down with K♥J♥.
The final 26 players have reached the first pay jump of the day, with all players now guaranteed $1,239.
