Michael Owens raised from the hijack to 54,000, Fares Santana called from the button, and John Ott reraised from the big blind to 155,000. Owens called, and Santana folded.

The flop came 5s4d2c, and Ott moved all in for about 675,000. Owens went into the tank for a long time before folding QxQx face up. Ott took the pot to reach more than a million in chips.

John Ott  –  1,070,000  (54 bb)
Michael Owens  –  350,000  (18 bb)

A short while later, Jason Klapman (big blind) and Michael Owens (middle position) saw a flop of Js8h3s, and Klapman got it all in for 166,000 with AsJd for a pair of jacks. Owens had 10s7s for a spade flush draw with a gutshot straight draw, and Klapman needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the Ad, the river was the 10d, and Klapman won the pot with two pair, aces and jacks, to double up in chips.

Jason Klapman  –  450,000  (23 bb)
Michael Owens  –  200,000  (10 bb)

With 40 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 870,000 (44 big blinds), and the remaining players are all guaranteed at least $5,229 each.
