Joao Vieira moved all in for 750,000 second to act. `Viktor Blom reshoved from the small blind, which pushed out Aliaksei Boika in the big blind.
Joao Vieira: K♦Q♦
Viktor Blom: 7♥7♣
Vieira became the 71% favorite to win the pot despite not connecting with the J♦10♦2♠ flop. Vieira, with an open-ended straight flush draw to go along with his overcards, had 21 outs twice.
The 4♥ turn and 3♥ river kept Blom's middling pair as the best hand and Vieira departed in 14th place.

Aliaksei Boika: K♥K♦
Theologis flopped top pair but was in rough shape against the pocket kings of Boika. The J♦ and 9♣ runout changed nothing, sending Theologis home in 13th place.

Sean Winter was out of his seat, observing the other table while the deal got underway. He just made it back to his seat in time to play his hand and opened to 280,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Jason Koon in the big blind, who three-bet to 1,200,000.
Winter, who had around 4,500,000, said, "Everything but 5,000." Koon jammed, and Winter put in his last chip.
Sean Winter: K♥K♠
Jason Koon: A♦A♣
"Why did you have to give it to me," bemoaned Winter as his kings couldn't improve on the J♣8♦5♥7♠6♥ runout.
Koon offered his condolences and was then very complimentary about his compatriot as Winter departed the tournament area.
