The board came 9d4c3c8h3h, and the pocket tens held up for Nakonechnyy to win the pot and double up in chips.

Yaroslav Nakonechnyy  –  5,150,000  (21 bb)

Scott Jordan moved all in from the hijack for 2,600,000, and Robert Gregory called from the big blind with AsKh. Jordan turned over KdQc, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came AcQd9c2hJh, and Gregory won the pot with a flopped pair of aces to eliminate Jordan in 12th place.

This pot moves Gregory into the chip lead.
