Brandon Navarrete was all in from the hijack for about 250,000 with Ah7d, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the AsJh of Ron Givens in the cutoff.

The board came Qd9c6s10h8h — both players made straights, but Givens won the pot with his higher queen-high straight to eliminate Navarrete in 103rd place.
