Christian Roberts was all in from the button for 1,640,000 with KhKd, and needed it to hold to stay alive against the Ks7h of Caio De Lucca in the big blind.

The board came 7s6s3h10dAh, and De Lucca paired his seven on the flop, but improved no further. Roberts won the pot with his pocket kings to double up in chips.

Christian Roberts  –  3,370,000  (56 bb)

With 23 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 2,525,000 (42 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $27,500 each.

There will be a one-hour dinner break around 6:53 pm. Action is scheduled to continue tonight until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow’s live-streamed final table, which is scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon EST.
