A short while later at Table 17, Michael Casson moved all in from the small blind for about 5.75 million, and Jesse Lonis tanked for a very long time in the big blind before finally calling all in for about 1.85 million with Kh7s.

Casson turned over 5h5d, and it was a race situation.

The board came KsJh5c7cAc — Casson took a huge lead with a flopped set of fives, but Lonis turned two pair to give himself four outs on the river. But the ace on the river favored Casson, who won the pot with his set of fives to eliminate Lonis in 12th place.
