With Shaun Malough making it 135,000 from under the gun, Raymond Coburn announced all-in for a total of 795,000 from the next seat down and, after pitching up tent in the tank, Malough made the call.

Board:
"Ray of hope!" screamed the Coburnites on the rail.
Michael Goldfarb opened to 150,000 from early position and Justin Conley moved all in for 640,000 in the hijack seat. The action folded back to Goldfarb who went deep into the tank before calling.
Showdown
Goldfarb:
Conley:
The flop was about as ugly as it could get for Conley and he needed a lot of help to catch up. The turn was paint, but the would not suffice and after the bricked on the river Conly was eliminated.
Thanks to the fortuitious flop, Goldfarb is now up to 1,900,000 chips.
Thiago Nishijima opened to 95,000 from early position and was called by three players including Kevin Odell (hijack), Shaun Malough (button) and Michael Goldfarb (big blind).
The flop fell . Goldfarb checked, Nishijima checked and Odell fired 200,000. Only Nishijima called.
The turn was the and Nishijima checked to Odell who quickly bet 350,000. Nishijima thought a bit before folding and Odell opened for top set.
Odell tried to trap Nishijima by just calling preflop, and pulled in a nice sized pot.
Justin Conley opened it up from middle position to 80,000, Kevin Odell called from the button and Steven Brown moved all in from the small blind for just over 800,000. Both players folded.
Just as I was thinking that it just needed two big hands to clash, that's exactly what happened, Johan Jacobbson raising to 100,000 from under the gun, Jesse Rockowitz three-betting to 270,000 in the big blind, Jacobbson moving all in and Rockowitz making the call.

Board:
Despite a plucky performance, Jakobsson departs in ninth place for $53,892 in spondoolies.
