Jose Gonzalez had continued accumulating chips during this level, recently crossing 1,200,000, until tangling with Daniel Koloszar in a blind versus blind pot.
In the small blind, Koloszar got his last 145,000 in the middle and Gonzalez called to put him at risk.
Daniel Koloszar: A?K?
Jose Gonzalez: A?J?
Koloszar had the chip leader dominated heading to the 4?4?4? flop. "Ace, please," Gonzalez asked the dealer pleading for a card that would chop the pot.
The board instead ran out Q?K? and Koloszar improved to a full house on the river to double up.
