All three checked the 6♦ turn to the 6♥ river. Pahuja checked, Patur bet 800,000, which made both opponents fold.

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeffrey Kurtz opened from middle position and Nick Maimone defended from the big blind.

Kurtz continued for 125,000 on the 5♥3♠A♥ flop, but Maimone check-raised to 325,000. Kurtz then decided to shove for approximately 1,700,000, and Maimone called.

Jeffrey Kurtz: Q♦Q♥ All in
Nick Maimone: 4♦2♦

Maimone flopped a straight to crack Kurtz's queens, and the 2♠7♥ runout didn't change anything. Both stacks were counted, and as Kurtz was slightly covered, he was eliminated.

Haiyang Yang: A♥5♥

The flop came J♥6♥10♦ for Verderamo to hit two pair but for Yang to pick up the nut-flush draw.
