Nitis Udornpim raised under the gun to 150,000, Jeremy Ausmus reraised from the small blind to 550,000, and James Carroll called all in from the big blind for 275,000. Udornpim folded.

Carroll turned over Ac7c, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against Ausmus’s Kc9c.

The board came Kh4s3h2h3c, and Ausmus paired his king on the flop to win the pot and eliminate Carroll in 28th place.
