In a hand relayed to PokerNews by John Leal, the two players ended up all-in before the flop.
Todd Brunson: A♣5♣
John Leal: 9♥9♦
Leal was in good shape to score the elimination, but the 3♥4♥7♦ flop would give Brunson a double gut-shot to go along with an ace as cards needed to survive.
However, the 7♣ on the turn and the 7♠ on the river left Brunson with the second-best hand and Leal scooping a bounty worth $2,016.

Steve Zolotow's stack was reduced to 12,900 before he opted to move all in from under the gun. Zolotow was called by a player in middle position.
Steve Zolotow: 9♣9♥
Middle Position: A♦6♦
Zolotow's pocket nines held after the board of Q♦6♥5♥3♠2♠ to complete the double-up but is still far short of the high-point of his tournament.
Action caught up to an all-in hand between Ren Lin in late position and Sean Kline in the small blind, with Kline the player at risk.
Sean Kline: A♦Q♣
Ren Lin: 7♦4♦
The 6♣K♠K♦ flop brought no change, but the 2♦ turn gave Lin a flush draw.
However, the 6♠ would be a clean river for Kline and secure the double.
