Heads-up play was ongoing in a pot of 1,500,000. The board displayed 9♥6♣K♥A♦. Farzad Bonyadi checked, prompting Bryan Hyden to fire 600,000. Bonyadi replied with an all-in shove for 7,500,000, covering what Hyden had left behind.
Hyden went into the tank, struggling to decided what his next action would be. He then pushed all his chips forward for a call.
Bryan Hyden: A♣Q♦
Farzad Bonyadi: A♥5♥
Both players hit a pair of aces on the turn but Hyden had the better kicker. The J♦ river fell, doubling Hyden up in the last few minutes of the day.
