Showdown
Hails:
Karschamroon:
There wasn't much drama left as Hails had already flopped his full house, leaving Karschamroon dead to runner-runner. The turn ended any potential drama, and the meaningless filled out the board.
That's another big double up (and then some) for Hails. He's all the way up to 717,000 now, knocking Karschamroon down under a million in the process.
Before the final table began, we heard Hails in a moment of gratitude. "This is the dream of a lifetime," he told his table, "and I want to thank you all for being a part of it."

The lights inside the Pavilion room have started flickering on and off, seemingly at random. A few light bulbs will go out, then a few more, then half of them come back on. They dim a little bit, then brighten back up, then get dark again. It's like a cheap light show at a bad pop concert.
Our final table is currently being lit by one lonely light overhead, and the staff is hard at work trying to find the problem.
Narinder Khasria raised to 37,000 from the cutoff seat and action folded to Seneca Easley in the small blind. He three-bet to 162,000 and then Khasria moved all in when play got back to him. Easley quickly called.

Easley:

It came , and both men checked to the turn. Khasria took his cue to bet 51,000 at the pot now, and Karschamroon quickly called to see the land on the river.
