Thomas Lunnun moved all in from the hijack for 195,000, and Chuck Giroux called from the big blind with Kd10s. Lunnun turned over 7s6s, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came QsJc9s4s5s — Giroux flopped a king-high straight, Lunnun turned a seven-high flush, and Giroux rivered a ten-high flush. Giroux won the pot to eliminate Lunnun in 26th place.
