Michael Moncek raised to 8,000,000 on the button, and Spencer Gore committed nearly half of his remaining stack to make the call in the big blind.
Both players checked the K♠8♠J♦ flop, and Gore checked again on the 5♣ turn. Moncek asked for the rest of his opponent's stack, and Gore quickly sent his cards into the muck.
Michael Moncek limped in the small blind, and Toby Price checked his big blind option. Moncek checked the K♣7♦7♠ flop, and Price fired a bet of 5,000,000.

After getting chopped up in the previous hand, Craig Varnell didn't have many chips with which to fight, and he moved them all in under the gun. The action folded around and Michael Moncek made the call for 12,000,000 from the big blind.
Craig Varnell: Q♥10♠
Michael Moncek: K♣6♠
Moncek's king lead was threatened by Varnell's straight draw on the flop, but the full board of A♦J♠A♣6♥8♥ sent the pot Moncek's way.
Craig Varnell opened to 6,500,000 from the cutoff, and Toby Price moved all in for 35,000,000 on the button. Varnell made the call, and the hands were revealed.
Toby Price: A♥J♣
Craig Varnell: K♥Q♣
Price could not look at the board, as the dealer fanned out 9♥A♣9♦4♣10♦ to confirm his double-up through Varnell.
Michael Moncek raised to 6,000,000 from the button and found a call from Toby Price in the big blind.
The action went check check on the J♣3♠10♣ flop for the 10♦ to appear on the turn.
Price led out for 7,500,000 and Moncek made the call.
On the 2♥ river Price checked to Moncek who moved all in and had Price covered. Price thought for a while before he released his hand to send the pot to Moncek with no showdown.
Just after picking up a host of new chips, Mauro Sosa raised all in with 33,000,000 chips from the cutoff. Michael Moncek made the call from the big blind.
Mauro Sosa: A♦5♦
Michael Moncek: A♥J♥
In a battle of the red aces, the flop 9♠4♠3♣ came decidedly black, but did give Sosa some hope with a wheel draw. The 4♥ on the turn didn't help.
The A♠ river gave both a pair, but Moncek took the pot with the higher kicker, knocking Sosa and his chanting rail of supporters out of the event.
Mauro Sosa moved all in on the button, and was immediately at risk when Spencer Gore announced all in for more from the small blind.
Mauro Sosa: A♣10♣
Spencer Gore: 9♠9♥
Sosa found help on the A♦2♣J♣3♠5♦ runout, sending his rail into a frenzy and winning the flip to stay alive.
Level: 42
Blinds: 1,500,000/3,000,000
Ante: 3,000,000
Toby Price raised to 6,000,000 on the button. Spencer Gore, in the small blind, paused a bit, deciding what to do.
After a relatively quiet start to the final table, Gore jumped all the way in shoving his stack of 36,500,000 chips.
Price quickly called.
Spencer Gore: A♣5♣
Toby Price: A♠J♣
Price's ace-high advantage was still there on the flop of 9♣8♥10♣, but Gore's better flush draw hit home with the 8♣ on the turn, rendering the 9♠ meaningless and giving him a significant double-up into the chip lead.
