David Peters opened the action with a raise to 45K. Brendan Baksh then raised to 112K, only to be faced with an instant 4-bet to 235K from Eric Afriat. David got out of the way and action was back on Brendan, who chose to shove for 914K. Eric thought for just under one minute and made the call.
Brendan: 
Eric: 
Eric was well in the lead and poised to put a stranglehold on the tournament… until the 
flop came – Brendan had hit one of the three outs he needed to take the lead. Another pair of 8s came on the turn and river (
) and Brendan doubled up.
In a hand on the other table just a couple of minutes later, Brady Hinnegan doubled through Ryan Rivers when his flopped straight beat Ryan’s top pair (with an open-ended draw). Brady is now up to around 1.1M in chips
