Level 38 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

On a flop of 6♣4♣K♠, Eric Trexler led into two opponents for 3,000,000, to which Jason Aden in the big blind shoved over the top for his last 23,000,000. Robbie Ko in the cutoff flat called Aden's all-in and the action was back on Trexler.

Trexler thought for a considerable amount of time before shoving all in himself, covering both stacks. Ko called off the bet also putting his tournament life on the line and the hand went to a three-way showdown.

Jason Aden: Q♦4♠
Robbie Ko: 5♣3♣
Eric Trexler: K♣J♥

Both the turn and the river failed to improve either of Trexler's opponents. Trexler not only scored a double bust out but also claimed the biggest pot of this tournament granting him a commanding chip lead. Ko finished in 18th place and Aden finished in 19th place, both claiming $18,779.
