After a flop of Qh10d9c, Dorian Rios checked from the big blind, and Rafael Farah Jarufe checked from the button.

The flop came 2h, Rios checked, Jarufe bet 600,000, and Rios check-raised all in for 3,150,000. Jarufe called with KcJc for a flopped king-high straight, and Rios turned over Qd10c for two pair, queens and tens. Rios needed a queen or a ten on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 9h, and Jarufe won the pot with his straight to eliminate Rios in 11th place.
