Dalton Mills got all-in pre-flop holding pocket Aces and was up against the chip leader Kishor Bhakta’s pocket Queens.

It appeared Dalton was destined to double up, but the flop fell Q 5 4, giving Kishor a set of Queens and leaving Dalton looking for one of two Aces or two runners to make a wheel.

Then it happened.  An Ace on the turn sent the lead back to Dalton.  When a Ten hit the river, Dalton doubled up, taking Kishor’s stack down to ~160k.

Andrew Boccia has assumed the chip lead with right around 200k with just a few minutes remaining in the last level of the night.
