Mihalahe Cean raised from middle position to 275,000, Jose Vargas Mone moved all in from the button for about 2.0 million, and Luke Brereton called all in from the big blind for about 1.8 million. Cean folded.

Brereton turned over AhKs, and needed to improve to stay alive against Vargas Mone’s JsJc.

The board came KhKc3d8hJd — Brereton flopped trip kings, but Vargas Mone rivered a full house, jacks full of kings, to win the pot and eliminate Brereton in 18th place.
