Adrian Mateos raised 650,000 with A♦8♦ under the gun and met resistance from Jans Arends, who defended his big blind with 6♥4♦.

Arends was rewarded for his bullish defense when the dealer fanned 4♥10♣6♠ on the flop, giving Arends bottom two pair. Arends checked and Mateos checked behind.

The K♦ on the turn brought some action after Arends checked. Mateos bet 1,100,000 and then faced a 3,200,000 check-raise from Arends. Mateos immediately mucked his hand.

The action folded to Biao Ding in the cutoff who shoved all in for 2,925,000. Chance Kornuth asked for a count and then reshoved all in from the small blind. Jeremy Ausmus folded his big blind and the two hands were tabled.

Biao Ding: K♠J♥
Chance Kornuth: A♠Q♣

The flop came 10♦7♠6♦ and Kornuth's ace-high was still in the lead. The 2♦ on the turn changed nothing and the A♥ on the river only paired Kornuth, sending Ding home in sixth place.

It didn’t take long for action to heat up on Day 3.

Biao Ding moved all in on the button with 5♥5♣ and action folded to Chance Kornuth, who looked down at A♦Q♦ and moved all in to put himself at risk.

The dealer ran out 6♣Q♥J♣, putting Kornuth in the lead over Ding’s small pocket pair. Ding had two outs remaining, but neither appeared as J♦ arrived on the turn and 10♠ on the river.

Kornuth secured a 9,075,000 pot for his double up.
