Sean Hamrick made Jerome Neppl pay to see a flop by raising his option to 700,000 after his opponent completed the blinds.
Neppl obliged, leading them to a 10♣9♣7♣ flop. Hamrick was unfazed by the monochromatic board and fired 600,000. Equally calm, Neppl picked out some of his chips and raised to 1,600,000.

Skyler Halama: A♦2♦
Jerome Neppl: 7♠2♠
The board dropped a seven for Neppl with K♥7♥3♥K♣K♦, and he scored a full house for the win to eliminate Halama.

Both players checked the Q♦ turn and the 4♦ river.
Michael Schlittler: 10♦9♣
Sean Hamrick: 6♣6♥
Jerome Neppl: 5♠2♠

Nicholas Baldev: Q♥10♥
Jerome Neppl: A♣A♥

Michael Schlittler: Q♠Q♣
Jerome Neppl: A♦9♦
