With the board reading A♣6♦Q♥6♥7♥ and 680,000 in the middle, Nitesh Rawtani checked from middle position and Jonathan Bowers bet 675,000, exactly enough to put Rawtani all in. Rawtani went into the tank.
"I can beat king-jack-ten and ace-jack-ten with the ace of hearts" Rawtani commented as he mulled over the decision. After another minute Rawtani stuck in the call.
Bowers showed Q♦Q♣9♣3♥ for a full house to take the pot while Rawtani quickly made his exit from the tournament area.

Eric Liu got his last 355,000 in preflop after Felipe Ramos had potted to 400,000 and they tabled the following cards.
Eric Liu: A♦A♥6♠2♠
Felipe Ramos: K♠K♣J♥4♥
The K♥K♦5♣ flop brought some "ahhhhs" from the other players as Ramos instantly hit quads. Only running aces could come to the rescue for Liu, who found no miracle escape on the J♣ turn and 10♠ river.
