Under the gun, Shaun Walker opened to 40,000, and he found three callers, including both blinds.

Off they went to a flop of {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} {2-Spades}, and Paul Hails checked first to act. Next door, Hayden Fortini took a stab, firing 65,000 chips at the pot. That folded Walker, sending the action to Patrick Karschamroon. Without missing a beat, he raised to 175,000, and that put the action back on Hails. After a minute of consideration, he shoved all in for 240,000 total, Fortini folded, and Karschamroon regretfully called the extra bit to see the cards.

Showdown
Hails: {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Karschamroon: {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}

There wasn't much drama left as Hails had already flopped his full house, leaving Karschamroon dead to runner-runner. The turn {3-Spades} ended any potential drama, and the meaningless {8-Diamonds} filled out the board.

That's another big double up (and then some) for Hails. He's all the way up to 717,000 now, knocking Karschamroon down under a million in the process.

Before the final table began, we heard Hails in a moment of gratitude. "This is the dream of a lifetime," he told his table, "and I want to thank you all for being a part of it."

The amateur is sure doing a fine job of making this experience last.
