Brian Hewitt and James Routos got all in after a {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop.

"You have a big pair?" Routos asked.

Hewitt revealed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

"Oh, that's a nice hand," Routos said, turning over {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair and an open-ended straight flush draw.

Bricks arrived on the turn and river in the form of {q-Spades} and {j-Clubs}, and Hewitt took nearly all of Routos' chips. He finished Routos off a few hands later, and he's the first player to punch a final four ticket, doing so 2-0.

According to a bystander, Hewitt has breezed to eight straight victories.
