Brad Albrinck opened with a raise to 240,000 before play folded over to Josh Williams, and he made it 425,000 to go. Albrinck moved all in for around 2.5 million, and Williams called.

Albrinck showed the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for two big overcards to Williams' {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

The flop, turn and river ran out blank for Albrinck as the dealer spread the {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} across the middle of the felt. Albrinck was eliminated in sixth place, but did take home over $80,000 for his finish.

From under the gun, Shiva Dudani raised to 1.495 million and was all in. Action folded over to Josh Williams on the button, and he made the call. Everyone else folded, and it was Dudani's {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} at risk against the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} for Williams.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and Dudani was still in need of help. On the turn, the {A-Clubs} landed and officially left Dudani drawing dead before the river completed the board with the {10-Clubs}.

For his finish, Dudani earned $62,438. Williams scooped the pot and moved to approximately 7.5 million in chips.

Kirk Doubles Again; Takes Chip Lead

The action folded to Brad Albrinck, who completed from the small blind. Tripp Kirk raised to 330,000 from the big blind, and Albrinck called.

The dealer fanned {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and Albrinck checked. Kirk continued for 245,000, Albrinck silently raised to 850,000, and Kirk went into the tank. After nearly a minute, Kirk moved all in for 4.25 million, and Albrinck quickly said, "Call."

Albrinck: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Kirk: {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

There was over 9 million in the middle when the dealer rapped the table and turned the {a-Diamonds}. It was no help to Albrinck.

Kirk would double and become the chip leader if he could dodge a jack, ace, seven, or queen on the river.

The river was the {k-Spades}, successfully doubling Kirk to 9.16 million chips. Albrinck slipped to around 4.05 million.
