After William Chao raised from the under-the -gun position Jessejay Jaurigue shoved from his big blind and was instantly called by Chao.
After the two players tabled their hands Jarigue saw that he needed to get lucky to stay alive, which he did on the 
runout.

William Chao: 
Kfir Nahum was all in for his last 30,000 and after James Carroll made the call, Amanda Heidbrick three-bet to 375,000, which was more than enough to get heads-up and the two players tabled their hands.

After very fine showings by Nizom Abdukadyrov and Vadim Yvedokimov both players were eliminated in quick succession.
We caught the heads-up action on a board reading 
in an already-bloated pot.
James Carroll, first to act, checked to Amanda Heidbrick, who then bet 800,000. James thought it over for almost a full minute finally making the call and picking off Heidbrick's ace-high.

In a multi-way pot on a 
flop Monty Ford, first to act, checked his option, and with action on Justin Ligeri he bet 300,000. Ford then check-shoved and after the dealer confirmed and additional 320,000 Ligeri made the call and saw that he was well-behind.

Justin Ligeri: 
The 
turn and 
river secured Ford's double-up.
