Loukas Michael got all his chips in on a {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop heads-up with Ken Moore.

Michael held {5-Spades}{7-Spades} for the gutshot and flush draws, but Moore was ahead holding {Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for top pair.

However, the {3-Spades} turn gave Michael a flush and he doubled up after the {J-Hearts} river.

Steven Gurney-Goldman opened for 55,000, Ken Moore three-bet and Gurney-Goldman four-bet shoved.

Moore called all for his tournament life and some 560,000 with {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. Gurney-Goldman was on {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and looked good to take control three-handed after the {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop missed Moore.

However, Moore hit both the {Q-Spades} turn and {A-Clubs} river to double into the lead and cut Gurney-Goldman in half.
