Action was three ways to a flop of 6♥7♣6♦ with over 6,000,000 in the pot. Both Matthew Shepsky and Christopher Vitch checked over to David Hochheim, who moved all in for 4,700,000. Shepsky thought for a while before calling, and Vitch made the fold.
David Hochheim: A♦K♦3♦2♠
Matthew Shepsky: K♥Q♣Q♠9♦
Hochheim was in a world of hurt, and couldn't improve on the 5♠J♠ runout, confirming him as the final table bubbler.
Matthew Shepsky limped in from under the gun and Mark Radoja completed his small blind while Nick Pupillo opted to check in the big blind.
They all checked through the 3♣4♦10♣ flop to the 9♣ on the turn. Radoja checked, Pupillo bet 900,000 which only Shepsky called.
The river completed the board with the 9♥. Pupillo potted for Shepsky to think about it for a bit before making the call. Pupillo tabled the J♠J♣6♦4♠ for two pair but Shepsky showed the A♣8♣7♥2♥ for the nut-flush.
Matthew Shepsky limped in under the gun, as did cutoff Andre Rieder and small blind Shawn Stroke. Big blind Jeremy Kerbel then potted to 3,000,000, which folded out his opponents.
The very next hand, Rieder limped in under the gun, and Shawn Stroke did the same from the button. Kerbel potted to 3,000,000 again, this time from the small blind, and only Stroke called. Kerbel then potted again on the 7♠10♠3♣ flop, and Stroke folded, showing the 7♦.
The hand after, Stroke potted to 2,100,000 as second to act. Kerbel took some time before announcing, "pot," which totalled 7,200,000. Action folded round to Stroke, who let his cards go.
Christopher Vitch raised to 2,100,000 from under the gun. Sameer Batra went all-in for 2,100,000 on the button,. Nick Pupillo called in the small blind and Hieu Luu called in the big blind, as did Vitch
The flop came 3♥5♣10♠, and Luu led all in for 2,800,000, both Vitch and Pupillo called. The 4♥ on the turn saw Vitch put Pupillo all in and Pupillo shook his head then folded.
Sameer Batra: A♠J♥J♣10♣
Hieu Luu: Qx10x9x6x
Christopher Vitch: A♣K♠7♥2♠
Vitch with a turned straight eliminated both Batra and Luu on the K♥ river. Vitch took his bounty total to 19.

Mark Radoja raised to 1,700,000 on the button, Sameer Batra called in the small blind and Nick Pupillo called in the big blind.
The flop came A♥8♦4♥, and Radoja fired out a bet of 1,100,000, Batra folded but Pupillo made the call. Both players deicded to check on the J♠ turn then Pupillo led for 3,000,000 on the 4♠ river which got a quick fold from Radoja.
Matthew Shepsky potted to 1,750,000 on the button, and after some thought Andre Rieder decided to defend his big blind, not leaving much behind. He then check-called a shove from Shepsky on the 6♣5♥4♥ flop.
Andre Rieder: Q♠Q♥3♥2♥
Matthew Shepsky: A♥A♠7♠6♠
Rieder had flopped the low end of the straight, but Shepsky was still live with the higher straight draw. The runout 10♦2♠ was clean for Rieder, however, as he lived to fight another day.
