Lena Moua opened the action with a shove from middle position. The count was 2,700,000, and William Hitchcock decided to shove over the top for just 125,000 more. They were the only two players who paid to see a runout, and Hitchcock showed the goods.
Lena Moua: 9♠9♥
William Hitchcock: A♦A♠
The 4♠4♥2♠ flop was safe for Hitchcock, as was the Q♥. "Spade!" said Hitchcock, and he got his wish as the 8♠ river secured the pot.

Briant Alavez opened up the bidding with a raise to 500,000 from early position. Kathleen Mitchell was two doors down, and she jammed for a total of 925,000. Action got back round to Alavez, who quickly called off.
Kathleen Mitchell: Q♠10♠
Briant Alavez: K♦9♦
The 8♦7♦9♥ flop had something for both players: Alavez flopped incredibly well with top pair and a flush draw, but Mitchell was still very live with an open-ender and two overcards. That being said, her number of outs was reduced, as she would be drawing dead should a diamond be dealt. It wasn't, but the A♠3♥ runout wasn't enough to keep her alive.
