The hand began when the hijack raised to 14,000 before Manuel DeAlmeida called on the button. Bill Dehart called from the big blind to create a three-handed pot.

Both players checked the Q♣ turn to bring the 2♦ river.
The hijack put out a bet of 30,000 before Dehart responded with a raise to 90,000. The hijack wasted little time as he mucked his hand to yield the pot to Dehart.
Rick Colson went all-in for 71,000 from early position. Bill Dehart woke up with a hand in the big blind and made the call to put Colson at risk.
Rick Colson: 7♠7♥
Bill Dehart: 10♣10♠
Dehart was well ahead, but the flop changed that in a hurry when Colson hit a set on the Q♦2♠7♦ flop.
It looked grim for Dehart on the 3♣ turn, but the board was not done bringing more surprises as the 10♥ peeled on the river to give Dehart a set and sink Colson's main event run.

Andrew Greenawalt got it started with a raise to 9,000 from the hijack before Joshua Prager chose to go all-in for 70,000 on the button. Lee Markholt got involved when he called Prager's all-in out of the big blind. Greenawalt got out of the way with a fold.
Joshua Prager: A♥Q♣
Lee Markholt: 10♥10♦
Markholt held on the 2♥5♠9♥ flop, but the 3♠ turn gave Prager some additional outs to a straight.
Prager hit what he needed when the 4♠ came on the river to upgrade him to a straight.
This proved to be a consequential hand for Markholt, who was unable to rebound from the loss. Markholt busted and was seen leaving the tournament area shortly after.
