With the final board showing AdAc9hKsJh, Lanh Pham bet 80,000 from UTG+1, Antonio Mallol raised from the cutoff to 260,000, and Pham thought for a while before he called.

Mallol showed AhKd to win the pot with a full house, aces full of kings, and Pham mucked, dropping down to just 245,000.

Lanh Pham  –  245,000  (16 bb)

A few hands later, Nacho Barbero raised from the button to 35,000, Pham called from the small blind, and Jonmikel MacNichols called from the big blind.

The flop came 9d9c7c, and Pham moved all in for 180,000. MacNichols folded, and Barbero called with Ac10c for an ace-high flush draw.

Pham turned over 8c6c for an open-ended straight-flush draw (but only one out to the straight flush), and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 9s, the river was the 4d, and Barbero won the pot with his ace to eliminate Pham in 51st place.

Nacho Barbero  –  755,000  (50 bb)
Lanh Pham  –  Eliminated in 51st Place  ($10,585)
