Kayvan Payman moved all-in from the big blind for around 1,280,000 over the top of a 245,000 John Juanda raise. It was the third time Payman had pushed this level and like the others, he got it through.
Payman shoved the next hand with no callers, and then the next hand as well!
This third time, Kyle Bowker made the call on the button but suddenly David Vamplew in the big bind looked interested too.
"All-in," said the Scotsman in a quiet voice and Bowker looked pained, eventually folding.

Bowker said he folded and felt a lot better after seeing his opponents' hands.
Kyle Bowker raised to 220,000 and Fernando Brito shoved for just 390,000 total in the small blind. Artur Wasek thought about it briefly but folded; Bowker made the easy call and they were on their backs.

To be honest, it's a wonder that Mr. Brito lasted so long with so few chips; and finally he is gone in 6th place.
John Juanda opened for 265,000 and found callers in both David Vamplew behind and Artur Wasek in the small blind.
They went three-way to the flop and Wasek checked ("desparingly" according to Mr. William Reynolds to Juanda, who bet 570,000. Vamplew tanked up for a while and then made the call.
Heads up to the turn, Juanda checked this time. Another short tank from Vamplew followed, before he bet what looked like 660,000. Juanda folded, and Vamplew recovered to around 5 million.
David Vamplew open-shoved, and the table folded around to the blinds. In the big, Artur Wasek took his pause to consider, apparently toying around with a tough decision. Finally, he lifted his cards off the felt, stared at them, and open-mucked .
Vamplew took a big gulp as he added the blinds and antes to his stack.
John Juanda raised and Artur Wasek called in the big blind to see a flop. Wasek checked, Juanda bet 335,000, and Wasek called.
They saw a turn - the - and Wasek checked again. Juanda bet 575,000 this time, and Wasek folded.
As EPT Live commentator William Reynolds said, "He needs to develop a new strategy that is not calling out of position and then calling again and then folding."
And indeed, just a hand or two later, and Wasek found a new strategy - waking up with a premium hand.
Tom Marchese raised, and Wasek shoved from the small blind. Marchese snap-called, and the cards were on their backs.
