Faraz Jaka opens the cutoff to 260,000 and Connor Berkowitz moves all-in for 1,500,000 from the small blind. 

Jaka eyeballs the stack and then calls, turning over   . Berkowitz is at risk and dominated, as he holds   

That domination doesn't last long though, as the board runs out      , with Berkowitz flopping a pair and improving to aces up on the river. 

He's now playing just over 3,100,000 while Faraz Jaka has been cut down to 2,500,000 and is now the shortest stack at this final table.
