Vinny Monteiro min-raised under the gun to 250,000, Ronald Glantz reraised UTG+1 to 750,000, and Derrick Foster moved all in from middle position for 1,100,000.

Michael Gulliford moved all in over the top from the small blind for 1,875,000, and Monteiro quickly folded.

Glantz asked for exact counts and tanked for a while before he folded, claiming he had ace-queen suited.

Foster turned over 10h10c, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Gulliford’s KdKc.

The board came 8h7d4dQs7s, and the pocket kings held up for Gulliford to win the pot and eliminate Foster in 22nd place.

Michael Gulliford  –  4,225,000  (34 bb)
