: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Richard Lowe moved all in for 1,040,000 from the small blind and Kevin Nathan had an easy call from the big blind.
Richard Lowe: A♥10♠
Kevin Nathan: A♠K♠
Lowe was all in and in bad shape. Mark Checkwicz, still stacking his chips from the previous pot, gave Lowe his Cookie Monster card protector to bring him some luck.
The dealer spread the five-card runout of 9♦4♣Q♣7♣9♥; Checkwicz's lucky charm didn't have the same effect for Lowe, Big Slick was good for Nathan, and Lowe was sent to the rail in eighth place.

Mark Checkwicz: 10♥9♠
Bruno Lopes: 6♣6♥
The turn K♣ peeled off before the river 2♦ hit the felt, securing a more than 12,000,000-chip pot for Checkwicz. Kliper told the table he folded a set of eights and ended up losing the minimum.
