Hand #122: One hand after losing the vast majority of his stack, Aaron Duczak jammed for just 10,300,000 and Espen Jorstad folded the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}. He was then isolated by Michael Duek, who reraised to 20,000,000 on the button. The blinds folded and the cards were revealed.

Aaron Duczak: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Michael Duek: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and {j-Clubs} turn kept Duek in the lead. Both rails started chanting loudly prior to the {a-Hearts} river, on which all supporters of Duek broke out in wild celebration. Duczak's run ended in seventh place for $1,350,000.

Hand #120: Espen Jorstad raised top 5,000,000 in the cutoff holding the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and picked up the blinds and big blind ante, as Michael Duek in the big blind mucked the {2-Diamonds} face-up.

Hand #121: Aaron Duczak made it 6,000,000 to go and John Eames came along out of the big blind and the flop brought {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, on which Eames opted to check. Duczak continued for 6,500,000 and Eames then clicked it back with a raise to 14,300,000. The shove by Duczak followed and Eames called.

John Eames: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Aaron Duczak: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The slow-played aces were ahead and that remained to be the case on the {q-Hearts} turn as well. Another blank followed on the {4-Spades} river and Eames doubled for 42,900,000 in total. Eames jumped from the shortest stack to second on the leaderboard and Duczak was left with fumes.
