John O'Brien

John O'Brien pre-flop raised to 30,000 under the gun before action folded around to Brian Hastings in the big blind. He raised to 85,000, which O'Brien called.

Flop: 10♥ 8♥ 5♠

O'Brien bet 75,000, and after a minute, Hastings pushed him all-in for his final 422,000. He immediately called and flipped up a monster draw.

O'Brien: 6♥ 4♥     Hastings: A♠ Q♥

Turn: 3♣
River: 7♣

O'Brien got his gut-shot straight on the river, taking nearly 600,000 more chips away from Hastings.

Ulises Roman hasn't been involved in any big hands since dinner break, but he may be the new chip leader by attrition. Four of the five players at the final table now have more than 1,000,000 chips.
