Lauri Saaskilahti: J♠J♦ All in
Daniel Savas: 10♦10♣

The board ran out K♣8♥3♦2♠7♦ and Savas' stack melted below four big blinds.

One hand later, Savas jammed for 3,900,000 and Saaskilahti was the one to put him at risk.

Daniel Savas: 9♠6♦ All in
Lauri Saaskilahti: A♠9♣

With 14 players left and on a pay jump. Savas was in dire shape after the A♥K♥10♠ flop. The 7♠ turn gave him a gutshot and Savas declared his one time, not having used it yet during the tournament.

It was a close call but the 7♥ river ended his run in 14th place for $410,475 while all other 13 contenders have now locked up $510,000.
