Conrad Sanchez began the fireworks with a raise to 500,000 from the hijack. Sam Ruha made the call in the cutoff.
The flop hit J♥K♥5♥. Sanchez checked.
Ruha bet 400,000. Sanchez grabbed two stacks of blues and raised to 2,000,000. Ruha went all-in over the top, Sanchez called with less.
Conrad Sanchez: A♥K♦
Sam Ruha: J♣J♠
Ruha had a set of jacks. Sanchez was holding a pair of kings.
The turn brought the J♦ giving Ruha an unbeatable four-of-a-kind. The river K♣ to give Sanchez three-of-a-kind didn't matter.
After action folded to him, Danny Mui moved all-in from the button with 1,120,000 chips. The small blind folded before Rahulinder Dhillon made the call.
"Great," Mui said. "Now we get to find out what my cards are together. I didn't look."
Danny Mui: Q♠10♥
Rahulinder Dhillon: Q♣9♠
Mui’s mystery hands was ahead going into a runout of Q♦K♠3♦K♦4♣ and came out the same way.
Bill Bringold raised to 480,000 from under the gun, Conrad Sanchez called in middle position, and the blinds folded.
Bringold fired out a bet of 800,000 when the flop came 8♣6♦J♦, and Sanchez called.
Once the 4♠ hit the felt on the turn, Bringold put Sanchez all in, and he quickly folded.
The hand was joined with Tony Huynh all in against Jason Hoffman, the overall chip leader, who has just sat down at a new table.
Jason Hoffman: A♥K♦
Tony Huynh: A♣5♣
Big Slick gave Huynh a significant edge heading into the flop and the full runout of 2♦Q♣J♠Q♦4♠ held him there for the win and double-up.

The remaining 28 players are on a 15-minute break.
Conrad Sanchez opened to 315000 from cutoff and Tianyi Ma in the big blind three-bet to 750,000. Sanchez called to see a flop.
The dealer fanned J♠4♦10♣. Sanchez shoved all-in for 6,000,000 and Ma called putting himself at risk.
Tianyi Ma: Q♠Q♥
Conrad Sanchez: K♣Q♦
The dealer completed the board with a 7♦ turn and 3♣ river doubling Ma up at Sanchez's expense.
Under the gun, Brayden Lou opened to 325,000 and when action folded around to the big blind, Rahulinder Dhillon called to see a flop.
The flop came J♣5♣10♥. Dhillon check-called Lou's continuation bet of 400,000 leading them to the turn.
The turn 6♥ fell and the same dynamic occurred with Lou keeping the pressure at 700,000 and Dhillon check-calling once again.
Both players checked the 7♠. Dhillon showed Q♠5♠ for bottom pair while Lou tabled Q♣J♦ for top pair.
