Just minutes later, O'Neill got it in with the on a board against MSPT Team Pro Nick Pupillo, who flopped a set of sixes. He failed to do so, and Yen took a monster lead with more than 2.1 million. The latter called with the for a turned straight, and Will needed to fill up with the. Yen bet 225,000 on the turn, and Will shoved for Yen's 860,000. Yen made it 150,000 from the big blind, and Will called. In a limped pot, Will bet 60,000 last to act after three checks on the flop. Things started off slow after the break with only short stacks Matt Lushin and David Dang busting in the first level, but Yen made his move in a clash with Will during Level 23 (10,000/20,000/3,000).
When Neil Patel busted 11th to Jim Russler's slow-played kings, the final table was set with Jim Will entering as the chip leader at 1.1 million.
