A player under the gun opened to 300,000 and was called by the cutoff. Alexander Burton moved all in for 1,400,000 from the button only to see Chris Moorman re-jam out of the small blind. Both the under the gun and cutoff players folded and Burton was at risk.
Alexander Burton:
Chris Moorman:
It was a classic race until the 
flop put Moorman into the lead. Burton did have a flush draw but unfortunately for him the turn and 
river failed to improve his hand, sending him to the rail just shy of the final three tables. Moorman, meanwhile, has opened up a large gap at the top of the chip counts.

Adriano Scagnetti limped from middle position. Action folded around to Phong Nguyen in the big blind, who raised to 300,000. The limper responded by shoving and Nguyen snap-called.
Adriano Scagnetti:
Phong Nguyen:
It was an absolute cooler regardless of stack depth, though the current shallow average only made the sting worse for Scagnetti. The hand was not over yet, however, but the 
flop did keep Nguyen well in front. The turn and river bricked out to send a large pot Nguyen's way and eliminate Scagnetti in a cruel fashion.
