The turn was the 5♦. Tarich tossed out three mint colored chips for a bet of 300,000. Ochana called.
The river came the 6♦. This time, Ochana led for 500,000. Tarich called after a few seconds.

Just back from dinner break, Anthony Cierco opened all-in from the cutoff for 825,000. Action folded to Brent Hart in the small blind who called immediately. The big blind got out of the way and cards were revealed.
Anthony Cierco: J♠7♠
Brent Hart: A♣Q♥
The board ran out 5♣K♠8♣8♠10♥ which did not improve Cierco's hand as he held a pair of eights with a jack kicker. He fell to Hart's ace-kicker for a 13th place finish.
