The game switched to Limit Hold’em, and the limits increased to 40,000-80,000.

Brian Yoon raised to 80,000, and Jon Breneman called. The flop came Qd6s6c, Breneman checked, Yoon bet 40,000, and Breneman called. The turn card was the 3c, and both players checked.

The river card was the Ac, Breneman checked, Yoon bet 80,000, and Breneman called. Yoon showed Ad4c to win the pot, and Breneman mucked.

Brian Yoon  –  460,000  (6 BB)
Jon Breneman  –  1,340,000  (17 BB)

The next hand, Breneman limped for 40,000, and Yoon checked his option. The flop came Jc7s3s, Yoon checked, Breneman bet 40,000, and Yoon called. The turn card was the As, Yoon checked, Breneman bet 80,000, and Yoon called.

The river card was the 5d, Yoon checked, Breneman bet 80,000, and Yoon called. Breneman showed 8s7c to win the pot with a pair of sevens, and Yoon mucked.
