Tom Boivin raised under the gun to 120,000, Brandon Carl reraised from the hijack to 460,000, and Boivin called.

The flop came QdJd7c, Boivin checked, Carl bet 250,000, and Boivin check-raised all in for about 1,400,000.

Carl called with QsQh for a set of queens, and Boivin turned over AhAd. Boivin needed to catch an ace or a runner-runner straight to stay alive.

The turn card was the 5d, the river card was the 5h, and Carl won the pot with a full house, queens full of fives, to eliminate Boivin in 12th place.

Brandon Carl  –  3,900,000  (65 bb)
Tom Boivin  –  Eliminated in 12th Place  ($57,325)
