Action folded to Shawn Daniels who moved all in from the cutoff for 1,555,000. Daniel Yang called from the button and the blinds folded.
Shawn Daniels: K♥5♥
Daniel Yang: 7♠7♦
Yang was ahead and Daniels was looking for some help from the board.

The 2♣ didn't improve Daniels but the K♠ river gave him top two pair, saving him from elimination.
