Lexy Gavin raised UTG+1 to 80,000, Said Mossallam called from middle position, and Justin Swilling reraised from the hijack to 235,000. Gavin tanked for a long time before she moved all in for 700,000, and then Mossallam tanked for a bit before he moved all in over the top for 755,000. Swilling snap-called, covering both players.

Here were their cards, in descending order of chip counts:

Justin Swilling:  AsAd
Said Mossallam:  KhQh
Lexy Gavin:  AhAc

The board came Ks3h2hKc10c — Mossallam flopped a pair and a flush draw, and then turned trip kings to win the pot. Mossallam doubled thru Swilling and eliminated Gavin, effectively tripling his chip stack.

Said Mossallam  –  2,310,000  (58 bb)
Justin Swilling  –  1,680,000  (42 bb)
Lexy Gavin  –  Eliminated in 15th Place  ($40,000)
