Christopher Meyers raised from the cutoff to 100,000, and Aram Zobian called from the small blind.

The flop came 6d5d2s, Zobian moved all in for 400,000, and Meyers called with Ad6s for top pair. Zobian turned over Ac2c for a pair of deuces, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the Kh, the river card was the Kc, and Meyers won the pot with a higher two pair, kings and sixes, to eliminate Zobian in 48th place.
