Ilyas Muradi raised under the gun to 250,000, Albert Barney, Jr. reraised from the button to 700,000, Muradi reraised to 2,350,000, and Barney five-bet all in for about 6,700,000.

Muradi called, covering Barney by about 400K, and showed KsKh. Barney turned over QsQh, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qc9d7c5hKc — Barney flopped a set of queens, but Muradi rivered a set of kings to win the pot and eliminate Barney in eighth place.
