The runout was overkill: Baker was only looking to dodge a five, but backed into the nuts on 6♠4♦J♦Q♣K♥ sending Greeberg packing.

Action was picked up on the turn, with the board reading Q♦5♦4♣3♣. Play was heads-up, and John Esposito was the player on the left of the button. He bet out for 147,000 into a pot of 160,000, putting David Simon into the tank. After a couple of moments, he shoved, and Esposito couldn't have gotten his chips in any quicker.
John Esposito: Q♠3♠
David Simon: K♣K♠
Simon called for a five, but 9♥ left his kings cracked, and the huge pot went over to Esposito.

Chad Lipton opened to 26,000 under the gun, and immediately saw a raise to 76,000 from Brian Roelke. No other players fancied a flop, and when action was back on him, Lipton flatted.
On a flop of 2♠9♥K♦ Lipton checked his option, and Roelke downbet to 33,000. Lipton made the call. The turn 8♥ checked through, then Lipton led out on the J♣ river, to the tune of 80,000. Roelke took his time, called, then mucked as Lipton flipped over A♥K♠
