Christopher Battenfield shoved from the button for 27,700,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Jake Brown in the big blind who asked for a count before opting to make the call with the bigger stack.

Christopher Battenfield: A♥Q♥ All in
Jake Brown: A♣J♥

Brown requested for a jack but the board ran out 4♣7♥3♥5♣4♥ for Battenfield to stay ahead and even make a flush to double up.

Some of the other players at the table mentioned the flush, and Brown responded: "I don't give a s**t, I didn't hit a jack!" He counted out the chips to pay up and then commented: "Nice hand though."

Payne was ahead with the flopped pair of tens and stayed there while the rest of the board was completed with the A♣ on the turn and the 6♥ on the river.

"I'm not going anywhere; you can't get rid of me. I started with half a big blind. The story is growing!" he shouted out while he celebrated a bit with the rail before collecting his pot.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Carson Richards raised from the button to 5,500,000 and Australia's Malcolm Trayner shoved from the big blind for almost 22,000,000. Richards took a while before he dropped in calling chips which put Trayner at risk.

Malcolm Trayner: A♠5♦ All in
Carson Richards: K♥10♥

Trayner managed to fade everything as the 7♠9♣7♣9♠Q♦ runout kept his ace-high in the lead and forced Richards to slide over a stack of chips.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Amir Mirrasouli raised to 6,000,000 from the middle position for Kyle Mizell to call for his last 5,125,000 from the hijack. Jake Brown asked how much the raise was and then called too from the big blind.

"I'll check in the dark," Brown commented for Mirrasouli to respond that he was going to do the same.

The dealer spread the 6♦A♣J♠ out on the flop and the 9♦ on the turn. They both checked again to see the 7♥ complete the board on the river. They both didn't bet for them to all reveal their cards.

Mirrasouli showed the Q♦J♦ for the pair of jacks but Mizell held the A♥10♦ for top pair which was enough to beat Mirrasouli's jacks and the pocket fives Brown had.

Amir Mirrasouli	96,700,000 1,700,000	1,700,000

Level 40 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Amir Mirrasouli opened to 4,500,000 from the hijack and Kyle Mizell shoved the cutoff for around 28,000,000. Jefferson James was sat in the small blind and he committed all of his 23,000,000 chips to the pot. When the action got back to Mirrasouli, he folded.

Jefferson James: 10♥10♣ All in
Kyle Mizell: A♦8♣

A safe runout of 2♣9♠2♠Q♦3♠ saw James double up which left Mizell with around two big blinds in his stack.
