Hand #19: Action folded to Scott Blumstein in the cutoff and he raised to 1.8 million. Everyone folded and the chip leader added to his stack.
Hand #20: Dan Ott raised to 1.7 million from early position and raked in the blinds and antes after the rest of the players folded.
Hand #21: John Hesp raised it up to 2 million from early position and Benjamin Pollak called from the cutoff, as did Bryan Piccioli from the big blind. The flop came 
and Piccioli checked. Hesp bet 4 million, Pollak called and Piccioli folded. The turn was the

for the winner with ace high.
