Pasquale was behind but had two live cards for a possible double. But Bunkley improved when he paired his ace on the As9h2c flop and Pasquale was eliminated after the 3d turn and Th river.

Phillip Krnyaich

After sending a huge double up to Gabriel Fuller, Phillip Krnyaich was sitting on about 1,000,000 when it folded to Antuan Bunkley in the big blind. He dropped a pile of chips in the middle and Krnyaich called at risk in the big.

Bunkley: Kc2c
Krnyaich: AsTc

Krnyaich was ahead for his double up but Bunkley made trip deuces on the Jh2h2d flop, full house deuces of kings on the Kd turn, and kings full of deuces on the Kh river for the overkill knockout.
