Jesse Lonis raised from the cutoff to 250,000, and Francis Margaglione called from the button.

The flop came Ad7d5d, Lonis bet 450,000, and Margaglione called.

The turn card was the 6h, Lonis bet 1,700,000, and Margaglione used one of his Time Chips to tank for a while before he called.

The river card was the 4c, Lonis bet 3,000,000, and Margaglione moved all in for about 4.9 million. Lonis folded, and Margaglione showed Kd10d for the nut flush as he took the pot.

Francis Margaglione  –  12,875,000  (129 bb)
Jesse Lonis  –  9,150,000  (92 bb)


With seven players remaining, the average chip stack is about 9.0 million (90 big blinds), and the next player to be eliminated will earn $115,630.
