All the chips went in the middle preflop, and Ignacio Barcenas' opponent was at risk for about 1,100,000.

Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Barcenas was dominated but the dealer spread a flop of {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} giving him a set of tens, and the board completed with the {6-Diamonds} on the turn and the {8-Clubs} on the river knocking his opponent out of the tournament.

Mijac Sends One to the Payout Desk

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded to the hijack who raised to 100,000, the cutoff three-bet to 275,000 and Daniel Mijac ripped all in covering both opponents. The cutoff got out of the way quickly and the button called off his stack of roughly 1,100,000.

Daniel Mijac: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Mijac eliminated his opponent with a full house.
