Hand #27: Warwick Mirzikinian opened to 900,000 on the button and Michael Niwinski three-bet to 2,700,000 from the small blind. Christopher Barton four-bet to 7,000,000 in the big blind to quickly force out Mirzikinian, while Niwinski needed more time to consider his options.

Christopher Barton: 
Niwinski was ahead but the 
flop gave Barton a flush draw. The 
turn gave both players a gutshot, and the 
river blanked to let Niwinski double.

Hand #29: Mirzikinian made it 900,000 to go from the hijack and claimed the second pot in a row without resistance.
