Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Just before the break, Jonathon Liu raised all-in from the middle position for 500,000, and Brandon West the chip leader called right behind. Shaun Calquhoun then re-raised all-in for 625,000, making it hard for West to fold for just an additional 125,000. Once West called the cards were on their backs and the race was on for the biggest pot of the tournament.

The board ran out 
and Calquhoun's Kings held to scoop the pot of 1.8 million, which eliminated Liu and crowned him the new chip leader.
