Siavash Bahri shoved for his last 300,000 from early position and Ronee Dizon moved all in over the top from the hijack for around 1,000,000. After the rest of the table folded, the cards were turned over with Bahri at risk.
Siavash Bahri: 9♦9♥
Ronee Dizon: K♥K♣
Bahri was looking for a nine as the flop came down 2♠Q♦5♦, which kept Dizon ahead with two kings. The rest of the board came 7♥10♣ and Bahroi was out in 18th place.

Jordan Russell opened to 85,000 and got two callers in Ronee Dizon to his left and Rick Muniz on the button. Connor Richards in big blind, took a few seconds before pushing all-in for 440,000. Russell folded but Dizon asked for a count.
Dizon separated the amount needed for a call and took his time before announcing all-in. Richards got out of the way leaving the gentlemen to head to showdown.
Connor Richards: K♣K♥
Ronee Dizon: 6♥6♣
Connor's kings held on the board of 2♥9♠9♥J♠4♠ securing him a much needed double up through Dizon.
