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.

Yucel Eminoglu raised to 1,100,000 from the button, and Gary Fisher shoved for around 4,000,000 in the small blind. Eminoglu made the call which put Fisher at risk.
Gary Fisher: A?J?
Yucel Eminoglu: Q?9?
Eminoglu was steaming through this final table and it was of no surprise that he rivered a straight on the J?7?8?3?10? board which eliminated Fisher in fifth.

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.
