Milan Gurung (small blind) and Johnny Bromberg (UTG) are all in preflop with similar stacks, but Bromberg holds 8s8d to Gurung’s AdAc.

The board came Jd9c3dQs9d, and Bromberg turns a gutshot straight draw, but improves no further. The aces hold up for Gurung to win the pot.

Their chip stacks are counted down, and Gurung has 830K to Bromberg’s 820K. Bromberg is eliminated in 89th place as Gurung effectively doubles up in chips.

Milan Gurung  –  1,710,000  (57 bb)
