After a flop of AdJc2s, Corey Hochman bet 180,000 from the small blind, and Theo Lawson tanked for a while before calling from the cutoff.

The turn card was the Kh, Hochman bet 205,000, and Lawson called.

The river card was the 8s, Hochman moved all in, and Lawson called all in for his last 200,000 or so with KdQs (pair of kings). But Hochman turned over As10h to win the pot with a pair of aces, eliminating Lawson from the tournament.

Corey Hochman  –  2,055,000  (51 bb)
Theo Lawson  –  Eliminated in 17th Place  ($35,000)
