Ryan Hogan moved all in from the small blind for 975,000, and Vencent Welch thought for a while before he called from the big blind with AdJc.

Hogan turned over 2h2d, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 6d5c2cAhKs, and Hogan flopped a set of deuces to win the pot and double up in chips.

Ryan Hogan  –  2,050,000  (21 bb)
Vencent Welch  –  1,625,000  (16 bb)

With 14 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 4,150,000 (42 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $39,000 each.

Action is scheduled to continue tonight until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow’s live-streamed final table, which is scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon EST.
