Evan Teitelbaum raised to 90,000, and Manuel Labandeira called from one of the blinds.

The flop came Qh6s5s, Labandeira bet 220,000, Teitelbaum moved all in for about 800,000, and Labandeira called with 6h6c for a set of sixes.

Teitelbaum turned over AhQd for a pair of queens, and he needed to catch running aces and/or queens to stay alive.

The turn card was the 7c, the river card was the 5h, and Labandeira won the pot with a full house, sixes full of fives, to eliminate Teitelbaum in 28th place.

Manuel Labandeira  –  4,100,000  (103 bb)
