Matthew Schwarmann opened with a raise to 20,000 before Mohsin Charania moved all in for 131,000. Joshua Macciello then decided it might be a good idea to re-shove all in for an additional 144,000. He might've been regretting it a little when Schwarmann made the call.

Charania:
Macciello:
Schwarmann had both players covered and tabled the best hand, but incredibly the board arrived and Macciello made a remarkable backdoor straight to the disgust of both of the table and rail.

The board bricked out and Foltyn finds a big double to 675,000 with Benefield down to 270,000.
Jason DeWitt and Lennart Holz have continued their rivalry with another big pot. We caught the action on a flop with DeWitt checking over to Holz who bet 20,000. DeWitt then check-raised to 64,000 and Holz made the call.
On the turn DeWitt led out for 40,000 before Holz moved all in for his last 184,000 to send DeWitt into the tank. He eventually folded with for top pair, top kicker, as Holz flashed for nothing but a bare straight draw!
Great play by Holz as he climbs to 510,000 with DeWitt on 820,000.
