Nigel Murray raised from UTG+1, and Pasha Golovin moved all in from the cutoff for 80,000. The player in the big blind called, as did Murray, and any further betting would create a side pot.

Both players checked to the river on a board of Kc5h3hQdJh, the big blind checked, Murray bet 50,000, and the big blind folded.

Murray showed As10h for a rivered ace-high straight, but Golovin turned over 9h8h for a rivered nine-high flush to win the pot and nearly quadruple his chip stack.

Pasha Golovin  –  315,000  (13 bb)
Nigel Murray  –  850,000  (34 bb)

With about 250 players remaining from a field of 7,703, the average chip stack is around 615,000 (25 big blinds). The field is in the money, with the remaining players guaranteed at least $1,462 each.
