All four players limped in and went to a flop of 5♦8♦7♠. They then checked to the 9♠ turn, where Landon Mabe led out for 150,000 from the small blind. Joseph Ferguson and Connor Hayward folded, while Robert Little then raised to 300,000 on the button. Mabe moved all in, and Little called for 1,225,000.
Both players had a straight, Mabe with J♣6♣ and Little with J♠6♠. The river, though, brought the 5♠ to give Little a flush and the double up, leaving Mabe with less than two big blinds.
Joseph Ferguson raised to 275,000 under the gun and Robert Little called in the small blind.
Both players checked the 9♣K♣7♦ flop. Ferguson then bet 250,000 on the 9♠ turn, and Little called.

Ferguson responded by moving all in for 3,100,000, and Little snap-called. Little showed 6♦6♣ for a rivered full house, but Ferguson had sevens full with 7♥7♠ to earn the massive double up.

Robert Little: 8♠8♣
The 8♥3♥5♣ flop was a disaster for Copeland as Little hit top set. "That looks like bad news," Little said. The rest of the board ran out 4♦3♣, and Little improved to a full house to send the RunGood ambassador to the rail in fifth place.
