Michael Dermer raised from the hijack, and Jason Klass called from the big blind.

The flop came Kd7d2d, Klass checked, Dermer bet 500,000, and Klass called.

The turn card paired the board with the Ks, Klass checked, Dermer bet 500,000, Klass check-raised to 1,500,000, and Dermer called.

The river card was the Qd, Klass moved all in, and Dermer snap-called all in for about 1.3 million with Ad10s for an ace-high diamond flush.

But Klass turned over KcQh to win the pot with a full house, kings full of queens, eliminating Dermer in 13th place.

Jason Klass  –  10,250,000  (51 bb)
