Michael Gagliano opened the action to 45,000 from early position and it folded to Aaron Kirshenberg on the button who moved all in for 370,000. The blinds got out of the way and Gagliano quickly called with a slightly bigger stack.
Aaron Kirshenberg: 6♣6♠
Michael Gagliano: Q♦Q♣
Kirshenberg was in rough shape and in need of a six to stay alive. The board granted his wish when it ran out 7♣6♥5♠J♠J♣ and the flopped set for Kirshenberg scored the pot for a full double up.

Nathan Russler: A♥K♣
The board ran out clean for the ace-king on a A♣J♠J♣7♣3♥ and Laskowitz was sent to the payout desk.
