Nick Mitchell opened for 130,000, and to his immediate left, perma-short-stacked Deepak Bhatti pushed all in for 640,000. Everyone else got out of their way, and it was back to Mitchell, who nodded and made the call.
Mitchell: 
Bhatti: dominating with 
Board: 
There was no nastiness from anything on the board, and Bhatti duly doubled to around 1.4 million. Mitchell's rail became noticeably quieter as their boy dropped to around 1.3 million.
Nothing too exciting a the moment. In one hand, Dash Dudley defended his small blind to a raise from Gabe Costner, before checking down a 
board with jacks. Costner had nines.
A hand or two later, Nicholas Mitchell raised to 155,000 from the small blind and Deepak Bhatti called. Both players checked the 
flop, only for Mitchell to take it down with a bet of 175,000 on the 
turn.
Cory Brown raised to 150,000, but to his immediate left barring the dealer, Dash Dudley made it 400,000 to go. Brown peered around the dealer to ascertain that Dudley had around a million chips behind, and after a few moments he gave it up.
Deepak Bhatti raised in the cutoff, but was met with a push from Isaac Settle in the big blind. He quickly passed, and Settle took the pot.
Isaac Settle raised to 210,000 from UTG+1; Deepak Bhatti called in the small blind. On the 
flop, Bhatti check-raised Settle's 210,000 continuation bet all in and Settle released his hand. Settle now struggling with circa 500,000 in chips.
It folded around to Aadam Daya in the small blind and he eyed up the remaining stack of Isaac Settle in the big blind - it totaled around half a million.
"All in," said Daya with a flourish of his hand.
"Call," said the already standing Settle.
So they flipped their cards.
Daya: 
Settle:
Board: 
Both players ended up with king high, and they chopped it up. Settle settled back down in his seat, still short but still in for the moment.
Dash Dudley counts his chip relentlessly, but it's clear that he'll only have two or three hundred thousand remaining if he calls. His button raise to 135,000 has just been reraised all in by Nicholas Mitchell in the big blind, for a big ol' hefty amount: 1,260,000.
Dudley feigns moving his stack, but then returns to recounting his chips to ensure his calculations were correct. After another minute or two, he nods his head and does indeed push his stack across the line.
As Dudley shows 
, and Mitchell 
, Mitchell's fans in the crowd shout, "Slowroll!" and chant for, "Jackball, to teach him a lesson for slowrolling." The flop duly obliged: 
, and despite the lesser (or less vocal) Dudley faction requesting a gutshot straight, the turn and river come 
and respectively to deliver Mitchell a fortunate double through.
After the pot, the Mitchellites continued to show their disapproval, celebrating raucously and, again, labelling Dudley a slow-roller. Despite being left with a bowl of rice, Dudley remained cucumber cool (although I imagine he was seething inside) and simply continued with the game.
Level: 28
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 10,000
Just a few hands later, and the unfortunate Dash Dudley shoved for his last 250,000 in early position and it folded all the way around to Isaac Settle in the big blind.
"250,000 to call?" said the also short-stacked Settle, as though he couldn't quite believe it was so little. "Call."
So, on their backs.
Settle:
Dudley: not quite as live as he presumably thought he would be, with 
Flop: 
"Seven, seven," said Dudley quietly, but even he didn't believe it was coming.
Turn:
"Hey Nikki, jack of clubs!" one of the pro-Mitchell railers shouted at the announcer, apparently thoroughly enjoying Dudley's suffering.
River:
With that, Dudley's bracelet hopes were dashed and he exited in eighth place. Settle's stack increased to around the 700,000 mark.
Bart Davis pushed his last 240,000 across the line from under the gun, and one by one the other players folded - until it got to Cory Brown in the big blind, who decided to make the call.
What is it with the diamonds today?
Davis:
Brown:
Brown moved into the lead on the 
flop and stayed there on the turn, but the river came down the 
to keep Davis in the game.
