At another table, Blake Bohn was looking great after passing the 300,000 mark, but he apparently ran top-top into top set on a queen-high board to lose most of his stack. He shipped off the last 30,000 or so shortly thereafter.

A player in middle position bet 16,000 on a 
flop and got a call from Danny Dang. In the cutoff, Jason Burruss shoved all in, folding out the bettor. As soon as that player's cards hit the muck though, Dang slid all of his chips forward.
"You have diamonds?" Burruss said, flipping over 
and knowing he would be in bad shape if Dang did. The latter did turn over 
, crushing Burruss' draw.
The dealer brought out a 
though, and Burruss picked up a straight draw. Dang faded the river as a 
fell.
