There was a massive preflop all-in situation between two of the chipleaders with nearly identical stacks.

Michael Casson was all in under the gun for 22.3 million with KhKc, and he was barely covered by Shai Arbel, who was in the small blind with AhKd.

The board came AcKs4d3c2h, and Casson flopped a set of kings to win the pot and double up into a dominating chip lead, knocking Arbel all the way down to less than a single big blind.

Michael Casson  –  45,800,000  (76 bb)
Shai Arbel  –  400,000  (<1 bb)

Two hands later, Arbel called all in under the gun for 400,000 (less than the 600K big blind), Casson called 600,000 from the button, and Andrew Heckman called 600,000 from the big blind.

Heckman and Casson checked all the way down on a board of Jh9h8d6dJd, and then all three players showed their cards.

Michael Casson:  AdJs  (trip jacks)
Andrew Heckman:  As10d  (ace high)
Shai Arbel:  Kc6s  (pair of sixes)

Casson won the pot with his trip jacks to eliminate Arbel in fifth place.

Michael Casson  –  47,000,000  (78 bb)
Shai Arbel  –  Eliminated in 5th Place  ($92,250)

With four players remaining, the average chip stack is about 19.5 million (33 big blinds), and the remaining players are all guaranteed at least $122,700 each.
