Jacob Parent chose to jam from middle position for 1,500,000 even. Zachary Hall called in the next seat over to put Parent at risk. The table folded around to the big blind, where Paul Zanardo woke up with a hand and chose to go all in for approximately 800,000.
Paul Zanardo: K♣K♥
Jacob Parent: J♣9♠
Zachary Hall: A♠7♠
Zanardo was in command heading into the runout, but the flop was ominous as it came 7♦5♥10♦ to give Parent a gutshot straight draw and Hall a pair to improve his outs.
The 9♥ turn gave Parent a pair to go with his straight draw.
The J♦ river was the dagger that eliminated Zanardo from the tournament, as Parent scooped the entire pot.

Maurice Jeevanji moved all in from under the gun, only to see Hesham Ayoub do the same, next to act. One seat over, Richard Buckingham joined the party, moving all in too.
Buckingham had both opponents covered and showed them they were in trouble when all the cards were revealed.
Maurice Jeevanji: A♣J♦
Hesham Ayoub: A♦K♦
Richard Buckingham: K♥K♠
The flop 6♣J♣7♠ gave Jeevanji some renewed hope, but didn't threaten Buckingham too much.
The turn 4♦ and river Q♣ wrapped up the victory for Buckingham as he sent two players to the payout desk together.
