Hand #121: Damian Salas raised to 1,100,000 from under the gun and Scott Stewart called from the cutoff. Dan Ott was on the button and three-bet to 3,100,000. The blinds folded and so did both Salas and Stewart.

Hand #122: Michael Ruane raised to 1,750,000 from the small blind and Salas defended his big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Ruane bet 1,800,000. Salas called. The turn was the {j-Spades}. Ruane checked and Salas checked behind. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and after tanking for two minutes, Ruane checked again. Salas bet 2,500,000 and Ruane folded.

Hand #123: Action folded around to Salas in the small blind and he decided to call. Scott Blumstein was in the big blind and raised to 1,700,000. Salas folded.

Hand #124: Action folded to Salas on the button and he limped in. Blumstein called from the small blind and Ben Lamb checked his option in the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. All three players checked to the {4-Spades} on the turn. Blumstein led out for 1,000,000 and both Lamb and Salas mucked.

Hand #125: Ruane moved all in for 6,800,000 from the hijack and Stewart quickly called from the big blind.

Ruane was at risk and behind with {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, up against Stewart's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Ruane took the lead with a pair of tens.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} and Ruane made two pair, also giving Stewart a gut-shot straight draw.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and Ruane's hopes of making the Main Event final table in back-to-back years remains alive.
