Travis Speck was down to 10 big blinds just a few minutes ago but doubled up twice in a row through Seth Evans and is back in business at the RG Main Even final table.
Speck shoved the button with 10♦7♦ for 330,000 and Evans called in the big blind with K♦8♣. The Q♠10♣10♥ flop locked up the first double for Speck and put a dent in the stack fo Evans.
Two hands later, Evans opened to 100,000 in the cutoff and Speck three-bet all-in for 675,000 from the big blind. Evans called with A♥J♥ and had the lead against Speck's A♣5♣. A five hit the flop and Speck survived to double again.
Evans is below 2,000,000 for the first time in a few levels and Eric Bishop is the new chip leader. Updated counts for the final five are below.

- Seth Evans - 1,860,000
