James Hamburger got it all in preflop from the big blind for about 970,000 against two other players — Eric Valerio (small blind), and John Stevenson (UTG).

Valerio and Stevenson checked to the river on a board of Ad8c5sKh3c. Valerio checked, Stevenson bet 375,000, and Valerio folded.

Hamburger showed QdQc, but Stevenson turned over AhAc to win the pot with a flopped pair of aces, eliminating Hamburger in 40th place.
