Abil Khan is back with a big stack and a lot of that came when he eliminated Michael Newman. As told by the table, Newman flopped the nut six-high straight, the board paired a four on the turn, and the chips went in. Khan had pocket kings for two pair and the river four gave him a boat to send Newman out.

That hand propelled Khan well over two million and back among the leaders.

Abil Khan – 2,450,000 (123 bb)
