Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi raised to 2,000,000 under the gun, leaving 40,000 behind. Big stack David Mcgowan called in the small blind, and the big blind folded.
Ohulchanskyi asked his opponent, "Do you have a pair?" Mcgowan replied, "Yes".
The flop came down 5♠K♥8♥ and Mcgowan said "I have a set", but Ohulchanskyi wasn't all in yet.
Mcgowan flicked a 100,000 chip into the middle to put his opponent all in, but now Ohulchanskyi had some thinking to do, knowing his opponent's hand strength.
After a brief conversation with the floor about whether he would post his big blind or his ante first in the very next hand, he decided just to throw the remainder of his stack in the middle.
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: 4♦4♠ 
David Mcgowan: 8♦8♠
Ohulchanskyi needed to hit running four-of-a-kind or a running straight, but all hope was lost on the 10♠ turn.
The necessary, but irrelevant, river was dealt the 7♣, and Ohulchanskyi headed to the exit.

In the small blind, Mark Darner went all-in and got called by the big blind Jon Vallinas.
Jon Vallinas: A♦8♦
Mark Darner: K♠10♦
Darner spiked a pair on the flop 9♣10♠6♥ but Vallinas' outs increased with a gut-shot straight draw. The turn 6♠ improved Darner's hand to a two pair with the board.
And with the 10♥ falling on the river, Darner improved further to a full house, sealing Vallinas' fate to finish at fifth.

One of the biggest coolers we'll see at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) took place in the biggest buy-in event so far this summer.
Aces versus kings is always a brutal set-up, but a set-over-set involving those two premium holdings is as painful as it gets. But that's exactly what happened near the money bubble on Day 2 of Event #32: $50,000 High Roller.
PokerNews' Calum Grant captured the hand between Ben Tollerene and Joey Weissman, which took place at the end of Level 13 with blinds of 15,000/30,000/30,000 and 34 players remaining with 26 spots paid.
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Christopher Puetz opened on the button to 340,000 and was raised by Mark Darner in the big blind to 1,200,000. Puetz called to see a flop.
The flop came 3♠A♠2♦ and both players checked. They also knuckled the turn 7♦ and 2♥ river.
Darner showed K♣5♣ and Puetz turned over A♣4♣.
On the very next hand, Puetz opened to 600,000 under the gun and got called by David Mcgowan in the big blind.
Both players checked through the board of 3♣A♥4♠K♠A♣. Puetz showed 10♠10♥ and scooped the pot as Mcgowan threw his hand to the muck pile.

Mark Darner raised under the gun to 600,000 and Dylan Linde called in the big blind.
The flop came 2♦A♦10♠ and Linde checked. Darner continued with 200,000 and Linde once again called.
On the turn 8♣, after action was passed to him, Darner bet 2,250,000. Unable to take the heat further, Linde folded his hand.
