In the first hand at the final table, Mike Hager was all in under the gun for about 2,200,000 with AsKc, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the 6h6d of Vu Dang in the big blind.

The board came QsQc6c3hAd, and Dang flopped a full house, sixes full of queens, to win the pot and eliminate Hager in ninth place.
