Matt Brady delivered a one-two punch to take a massive chip lead and send Jeff Papola to the rail. Matt doubled up through Johan Storackers, then eliminated Papola soon after when he flopped a flush to Papola's top pair and bigger flush draw. Jeff couldn't catch another spade, and he was eliminated in 3rd place, winning a cool $250,000.

We're now heads-up for the title, with Matt Brady holding a commanding chip lead against Johan Storackers. We've seen, however, that the chip lead can be a fleeting honor today.
