Victor Figueroa raised from the hijack to 50,000, Carlos Guerrero reraised from the cutoff to 175,000, and Richard Bai moved all in from the big blind for 495,000.

Figueroa moved all in over the top for about 1.35 million, and Guerrero thought for a while before he folded.

It was a cooler situation as Bai showed AhAc, and Figueroa turned over KsKc.

The board came Kd5h4cJcQd, and Figueroa flopped a set of kings to win the pot and eliminate Bai in 45th place.

Victor Figueroa  –  2,050,000  (103 bb)

Milen Stefanov  –  1,925,000  (96 bb)
Joshua Ray  –  1,275,000  (64 bb)
