Just prior to the break, Dag Martin Mikkelsen opened for 15,000 only to have James Keys three-bet to 28,000. Action folded to perhaps the most well-known player left in the field, Hollywood actor Kevin Pollak, who moved all in for 147,000. Mikkelsen got out of the way and Keys made the call.

Showdown
Keys: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Pollak: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Pollak was on his feet in anticipation of the flop, which came down {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. "Come on," Pollak said. The dealer obliged as neither the {10-Spades} not {9-Diamonds} river helped Keys.

"David," Pollak told the dealer after the hand, "For the record you're my favorite." Pollak went on to say that it was the first time all tournament he's been all in and at risk.
