Steve Karp raised under the gun to 300,000, Anthony DeCresci moved all in from the button for 625,000, and Karp called with Ac4c.

DeCresci turned over QdQc, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 8s3c2d10d6s, and the queens held up for DeCresci to win the pot and double up in chips.

Anthony DeCresci  –  1,625,000  (11 bb)
Steve Karp  –  9,400,000  (63 bb)

Unfortunately for DeCresci, his rebound didn’t last long. He three-bet shoved against Carlos Loving soon after his double and couldn’t win his race with AcJh against QdQc to exit in 12th place.

Anthony DeCresci  –  Eliminated in 12th Place  ($12,060)
