Final Hand of the Night - Double Bubble
The last hand of the night was a wild one that saw two players hit the rail. Denes Kalo had both Stephan Kjerstad and Michael Courin covered all in preflop when the three players turned up their hands:
Kalo: K-K
Kjerstad: A-Q
Courin: A-9
Board: J-10-3-10-2
Kalo eliminated both of his opponents on then hand and they were eliminated in 41st place (Courin - $53,283), and 40th place (Kjerstad - $60,082). Kalo jumped up to 642,000 after the hand and he ends the night among the chip leaders.

Joe Hachem Doubles Up
Joe Hachem got all of his chips into the middle with pocket jacks against pocket sevens. A seven falls on the flop and Hachem is knocked behind in the hand. A jack falls on the turn and Hachem gets up to celebrate. The set of jacks hold on the river and Hachem doubles up to 240,000.
