Then over at Table #626, Mark Shutley and Bogdan Chornyy got into a big all-in preflop showdown. Shutley had raised to 175,000 from under the gun and quickly called when Bogdan Chornyy jammed for around 2,000,000 from the cutoff.

Rahul Deevara raised to 160,000 under the gun and picked up four callers.
The flop came 10♠6♣2♠ and Deevara bet 380,000. Only Frank Flowers on the button called.
Deevara checked the 8♣ turn and Flowers bet 1,175,000. Deevara then moved all in for 3,660,000.
The rest of the field had already left for break as Flowers went deep into the tank. "It's 50-50 right now," he said, standing up from his seat and pacing around before sitting back down and buring his face in his hands.
Around 10 minutes went by before Flowers threw his cards into the muck. "Show for the cameras?" Deevara asked, and Flowers allowed the dealer to expose his Q♦10♣.
"I had a lot of outs," Deevara added, turning over K♠J♠ as the two players headed off on a shortened break.
Richard Freitas raised to 160,000 in middle position, Kenny Hallaert three-bet to 500,000 in the cutoff, and Freitas called.

The river was the 6♥ and Hallaert bet 1,700,000. Freitas again called and Hallaert showed A♦A♥ to win the pot.
