, White checked, Burney bet 47,000, Slatton called, Kidd raised to 100,000, and White folded. Burney then raised to 247,000, Slatton got out of the way, and Kidd called.
The dealer proceeded to burn and turn the 
, at which point Burney moved all in and Kidd called off his last 60,000.
Kidd: 
Burney:

hit. Kidd was eliminated in 19th place while Burney took the chip lead with 1.1 million.

. He was eliminated in 17th place while Harden is up to 1.25 million.
