With the board showing As7s2h8s on the turn and more than 200K already in the pot, Richard Arno moved all in from the big blind for 180,000.

Derrick Foster thought for a while before he called from UTG+1 with Kh8h for a pair of eights.

Arno turned over 6s6c for a pair of sixes, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The river card was the 9c, and Foster won the pot with his higher pair to eliminate Arno in 71st place.
