Carlos Chu jammed under the gun for 3,375,000 and Mark Harken called from the big blind.
Carlos Chu: A♦5♠ 
Mark Harken: A♣6♦
Both players held weak aces and a chop looked to be the most likely outcome.
The flop came 3♥8♦2♠ to give Chu some additional outs to a straight.
The K♥ turn was a blank, but the 5♥ river gave Chu the winner with a pair of fives.
When it folded to Dustin Harrelson in the small blind, he jammed for 5,250,000 and Mei Seow moved in from the next seat for about 10,450,000. The rest of the table folded and the players went to a showdown.
Dustin Harrelson: 4♥4♦
Mei Seow: 10♥10♣
Seow was ahead with pocket tens and, if she could fade two outs, would become the new chip leader with seven players remaining.
Harrelson's rail began screaming for a four, and the dealer delivered instantly as the 4♣ came in the window, followed by the A♥ and J♣.
Harrelson erupted out of his chair after flopping a set to vault into the lead.
One of Harrelson's railbirds abruptly stopped his massage and climbed onto a small ladder to get a bird's-eye view of the rest of the runout.
The 8♥ turn and 5♦ river changed nothing, securing Harrelson the massive double-up to over ten million.
After the hand, the fan on the ladder was advised not to do that again during future all-ins.
Action folded to Jeremy Halaska in the small blind and he went all in for 1,475,000. In the big blind, Mei Seow asked for a count, then called once the amount got confirmed.
Jeremy Halaska: 10♣9♥
Mei Seow: J♠8♥
Jack-high was good on a board of Q♥5♥K♥Q♦3♠ and Halaska was eliminated in 8th place.
Level: 35
Blinds: 250,000/500,000

When it folded to Dustin Harrelson in the small blind, he jammed for 2,475,000 and Jeremy Halaska called from the big blind.
Dustin Harrelson: 9♣9♦
Jeremy Halaska: K♥7♦
Harrelson's pocket nines stayed as the best hand on the 5♦5♠2♠Q♠7♣ runout, and he doubled up to over five million, while Halaska was left as the table short stack.
Mei Seow limped in from the small blind and Mark Harken checked in the big blind.
The flop came 7♥7♠9♣, Seow checked, and Harken bet 800,000. Seow called.
Action checked to showdown as the board ran out J♥ on the turn and 3♦ on the river. Seow scooped the pot with Q♦J♠.
Level: 34
Blinds: 200,000/400,000
