The action folded to Aram Oganyan in the small blind who went all-in for Isaac Haxton's stack of 5,350,000. Haxton made the call putting himself at risk.

Isaac Haxton: Q♥Q♣ All in
Aram Oganyan: K♠2♦

Adam Lamers

Level 24 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Joao Vieira folded the button and Aram Oganyan shipped all in from the small blind. Thomas Boivin looked down at his cards in the big blind and called off his stack of 7,800,000.

Thomas Boivin: K♥J♦ All in
Aram Oganyan: A♠J♥

Oganyan was in a dominating position and the flop of 9♣8♦3♦ left it that way. The J♣ on the turn left Boivin drawing to just three outs on the river. It was the 3♥ on the river and Boivin was eliminated in third place.

The final two players are taking a quick break before the heads-up action begins.
