Chuck Giroux limped from the cutoff for 100,000, Glenn Becker moved all in from the button for 1,360,000, and Miguel Martinez-Martinez tanked for a while before he reraised to 2,600,000. Giroux folded.

Becker turned over KdJd, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Martinez-Martinez’s AdKc.

The board came AsKh5h9d6d, and Martinez-Martinez won the pot with two pair, aces and kings, to eliminate Becker in 20th place.
