Sean Jazayeri shoved all in from under the gun for 6,700,000, and Paul Runge called from the small blind.
Sean Jazayeri: A?5?
Paul Runge: K?K?
Runge was the favorite to bring play down to three-handed but the flop of 5?Q?5? changed everything as Jazayeri improved to trips. It was a king that Runge needed but the runout of 7?9? wasn't what he was looking for, meaning Jazayeri doubled up.

Gary Fisher: A?J?
Yucel Eminoglu: Q?9?

Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Felix Barriga limped from the small blind and Yucel Eminoglu raised to 1,200,000 from the big blind. Barriga immediately moved all in for around 10,000,000, and Eminoglu made the call.
Felix Barriga: K?Q?
Yucel Eminoglu: J?J?
The two chip leaders had clashed which created a huge pot that could determine the outcome of this final table. If Barriga could win the flip, he would take over as the chip leader for the first time today, but if it went Eminoglu's way he would hold a commanding lead with five players remaining.
It was Eminoglu who let out a roar on the 9?7?J? flop as he improved to top set and took a huge lead in the hand. Barriga had outs to a straight but neither the 2? turn nor 3? river was the card he was looking for.
