Kou Vang opened for his standard 44,000 on the button, and Shawn Schoreck three-bet to 125,000. Vang made the call, and the two saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

"Same bet," Schoreck announced, and Vang called once more.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and Schoreck bet out 300,000. Vang shoved for 723,000, and Schoreck thought for about a minute before dropping a calling stack in.

"Let's get a club out there," Schoreck said.

Schoreck: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Vang: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Vang had flopped two pair, but Schoreck had outs with bottom pair and a flush draw. The river was a brick: {8-Diamonds}, and Vang now has a huge lead.

Daniel Holmes shipped all in from the button for 289,000, and Shawn Schoreck made the call in the small blind. After about two minutes of thought, Kou Vang laid his big blind down.

Holmes: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Schoreck: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop left both with hopeful positions: {7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, giving Schoreck a straight draw and two overs while keeping Holmes' eights best for the moment. An {a-Clubs} turn cause Holmes to slide his chair back, and the {2-Hearts} river officially ended his tournament.

Vang, meanwhile, said he folded two sevens.
