Shane Rose raised from the button to 240,000. Harvey Jackson then three-bet out of the small blind to 575,000.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jason Wheeler raised to 250,000 under the gun. He was called by Justin Carey from the small blind or Jaspal Brar out of the big blind.

The action checked to Wheeler on the 10♥10♣3♣ flop and he bet 300,000. Carey called from the small blind before Brar check-raised to 950,000 from the big blind. Wheeler got out the way but Carey moved all in for roughly 3,400,000 total. Brar was visibly distressed by Carey's raise, however, after thinking it over for over a minute, he slid in the call.

Justin Carey: 3♠3♦ All in
Jaspal Brar: Q♦10♦

The 5♣ turn and J♣ river meant Carey had doubled up to over 8,000,000 with his flopped full house
