John Howe raised from the cutoff to 400,000, and Mike Hager called from the button.

The flop came Jh7h6h, Howe checked, Hager bet 500,000, and Howe called.

The turn card paired the board with the Jd, Howe checked, Hager bet 2,000,000, and Howe quickly check-raised all in for 5,625,000.

Hager quickly called with Kh10h for a flopped king-high flush, but Howe turned over Ah8h for an ace-high flush. Hager was drawing dead.

The meaningless river card was the 5d, and Howe won the pot with his ace-high flush to double up in chips.

John Howe  –  13,425,000  (90 bb)
Mike Hager  –  8,000,000  (53 bb)

After losing nine players in the first 50 minutes of the day, nobody has busted in the hour following that.

With 11 players remaining from a field of 4,783, the average chip stack is around 8,700,000 (58 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $15,900 each.
