Mikhail Sniatovskii was such the short stack at the final table that he had just a measly 400,000 chips remaining after posting the big blind and ante total of 2,400,000.
Shawn Buchanan made sure the hand was played heads up with a raise from the cutouff.
Mikhail Sniatovskii: 10♣4♣
Shawn Buchanan: A♣10♥
The runout of K♠Q♠K♦K♥2♦ gave Buchanan the hand thanks to his ace.

Players are on a 15-minute break.
Adam Ajudhia slid his 4,500,000 chips into the middle from the button and Ryan Hohner reraised from the small blind for roughly 20,000,000 more.
Adam Ajudhia: 7♦7♥
Ryan Hohner: A♥10♣
The flop of K♦Q♥J♥ was a nightmare for Ajudhia and the 3♣5♦ runout sealed the deal having Ajudhia hit the rail in tenth.
The Blinds were growing and Lukas Hafner figured he had to make a move. So he made this one.
Hafner raised preflop to 5,000,000 chips on the button, keeping behind 100,000. Daniel Cosner, the chip leader at the table, raised enough for Hafner to have to put that last little bit into the pot.
Lukas Hafner: 5♠7♣
Daniel Cosner: A♠5♣
Hafner was in deep trouble. The runout 9♠6♥3♣10♥10♦ gave him a lot at a gutshot straight from the flop, but he didn't hit it, and exited in 11th place.
Nicholas Seward raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun and Matthew Morin called on the button.
On the A♦K♠J♣ flop, Seward made a continuation-bet of 1,200,000, which Morin called.
Both the 10♠ turn and 4♣ river went check-check, where Seward showed K♣J♥ for two pair. Morin had two pair of his own with K♦10♦, but it wasn't good enough to earn him the pot.
Geoffrey Coatar raised to 4,000,000 from under the gun and was reraised by Peter Fox as next to act for his 7,600,000 chips. Coatar made the call.
Peter Fox: K♠K♣
Geoffrey Coatar 6♣5♣
Close but no cigar for Coatar on a board of 9♦7♣5♥Q♣2♥ and Fox secured himself a massive double-up.
Peter Fox went all in for 3,200,000 sitting in the cutoff, and when action reached Santiago Montes in the big blind he made the call for his 2,400,000.
Santiago Montes: J♥10♥
Peter Fox: A♥Q♦
The board came 7♥7♠6♣4♣9♥ and Santiago Montes left the event center in 12th.
