While that double-knockout was happening over on Table 375, we had some big action at the same time nearby at Table 376.
In a blind-vs.-blind battle between Justin Scott (SB) and Steven Kelly (BB), not much had happened before the flop. But a lot did after.
Scott led for 66,000, Kelly reraised to 140,000, Scott reraised again to 311,000 -- enough to put Kelly all in -- and Kelly tanked for several minutes before calling.
Kelly had for queens, and Scott for treys. The turn was the and river the , and Kelly catapults to more than 900,000. Meanwhile, Scott tumbles to just over 140,000.

We now have an official final table thanks to a double knockout by our new chip leader Derric Haynie.
Haynie opened to 36,000 on the button and Annette Obrestad shoved for 310,000 from the small blind. Michael Pesek re-shoved for 460,000 from the big, and the action was back on Haynie. He removed his glasses and massaged his temple, trying to work out the situation at hand. He had both players covered with 492,000 in his own stack, and he decided to commit the majority of his chips for a chance at a double knockout and a final table birth:
