Michael Johns limped in on the button and called a raise from Cody Stanford to see a 9♦J♣4♠ flop. After the flop Johns check-called a bet of 300,000 from Stanford.
The turn brought the K♠ and Stanford fired out 900,000, and Johns quickly moved all in, which was snap called by Stanford.
Michael Johns: 10♥8♥ 
Cody Stanford: 9♥9♠
Stanford flopped a set but would have to fade Johns open ended straight draw to claim the title. He managed to do just that as the river brought the 3♣ to eliminate Johns in second place.

Cody Stanford: 4♦3♠
Stanford flopped two pair against Pragel's middle pair and open-ended straight draw. Stanford would do just that as the board ran out A♣8♦ and his two pair was still best, eliminating Pragel to take a commanding chip lead into heads up play.

Action was picked up with Michael Johns all in and Jonathan Pragel putting him at risk.
Michael Johns: K♠6♠
