Tim Capretta min-raised under the gun to 150,000, Mike Liang reraised from the button to 375,000, and Sergio Aido tanked for a while in the small blind before he moved all in for more than 2.5 million.

Capretta called all in for about 950,000, and Liang quickly folded, later claiming he had ace-ten suited.

Capretta turned over QhJh, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Aido’s KhKd.

The board came As10s3dAc9d, and the pocket kings held up for Aido to win the pot and eliminate Capretta in 13th place.

Sergio Aido  –  4,200,000  (56 bb)
