Daniel Dvoress (pictured) moved all-in for approximately 360,000 from under the gun and he saw only one player match his bet when Sergi Reixach re-shoved for well over a million. No-one else wanted to get involved, and while Dvoress held , he was in a straight race with Reixach's .
The flop of kept Dvoress in the lead, as did the turn, but to cries of "Ace! Ace!" from the swelling Spanish rail, an landed on the river to send Dvoress home and catapult Reixach into the clear chip lead over Daniel Colman.

Sergi Reixach:
This time, although the Spanish fans rushed to the side of their man, it was more in desperate hope than in expectation of a reprieve. Sure enough, the board of delivered their man from the tournament, although that Broadway draw for the river gave them that cruellest of things along the way - false hope.

The board of was extremely safe and has given Kanit more than a fighting chance heads-up.
Having paused to check out the stacks and the clock, Kanit saw that he had 2.3m compared to 4.6m in front of Bryn Kenney, his heads-up opponent. When he return to the table, Kenney had one question for Kanit.
"You want to nit and chop, or gamble?"
"I wanna gamble!" said Kanit, and the two men took their seats. The prize on offer for winning this $50,000 PokerStars Championship Bahamas Single Re-Entry High Roller is $969,075. The runner up will receive $695,740.
