With the flop showing {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} Michael Senter got his last 500,000 all in against Vikram Vijay.

Michael Senter: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Vikram Vijay: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Senter was way in front with his set of nines. The turn {5-} changed nothing, but the river {7-} completed a straight for Vijay to give him the winner.

"F****** A," shouted Senter.

Senter headed to the exit while Vijay has now crossed the two million chip mark.

Kirk Brown

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Howard Dion and Kyle Dempsey got it all-in pre-flop for over 1 million each, with Dion at risk of elimination.

Howard Dion: {a-}{q-}
Kyle Dempsey: {a-}{a-}

The flop of {a-}{k-}{10-} left Dion drawing only to a Jack for a straight, but the {9-}{4-} turn/ river did not help and Dempsey was awarded a massive pot.

This gave Dempsey the chip lead with over 2 million.

Peter Penas and Vikram Vijay faced off heads up in a close all in battle pre flop. The cards were flipped and the players showed:

Vikram Vijay {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Peter Penas {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades} and with no spades in either of their hole cards, Vijay's pair of aces held strong to send Penas to the rails leaving two tables remaining.

Gonzalo Gonzalez picked up aces back to back in his blinds, both times against Donavan Koldoff. Gonzalez raised to 350,000 in big blind position to which Koldoff moved all in and received an instant call from Gonzalez.

Donavan Koldoff {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Gonzalo Gonzalez {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

The board came {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Gonzalez doubled up his 660,000 stack.

The next hand saw Koldoff and Gonzalez facing off heads up again. Gonzalez raised from the small blind, covering Koldoff. Koldoff called and the cards were flipped over.

Donavan Koldoff {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Gonzalo Gonzalez {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Gonzalez's aces held up again, leaving him with about 2,200,000 going in to the second break of the day.

"I guess I'm going back to dealing the WSOP instead." Koldoff exclaimed as he left the table.

Just before the break, Katie Kopp opened from early position to 60,000 and both Arturo Jimenez and Wyatt Frost called from the blinds.

On the {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, Jimenez checked and Frost bet 100,000. Only Kopp called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Frost sized up to 500,000, enough to cover Kopp. After a few minutes in the tank, Kopp folded to preserve her remaining 300,000.

Just before the break, Jonathon Liu raised all-in from the middle position for 500,000, and Brandon West the chip leader called right behind. Shaun Calquhoun then re-raised all-in for 625,000, making it hard for West to fold for just an additional 125,000. Once West called the cards were on their backs and the race was on for the biggest pot of the tournament.

Jonathon Liu: {a-}{10-}
Shaun Calquhoun: {k-}{k-}
Brandon West: {j-}{j-}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Calquhoun's Kings held to scoop the pot of 1.8 million, which eliminated Liu and crowned him the new chip leader.
