Paul Snead raised from the button to 500,000, Brandon Kessous moved all in from the small blind for 7,000,000, and Snead quickly called with JsJd.

Kessous turned over AhJc, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qh5s2h8h8d, and Kessous turned a heart flush draw, but improved no further. The pocket jacks held up for Snead to win the pot and eliminate Kessous in third place.
