Chipleader Ryan Riess moved all in from the small blind, and Javier Gomez Zapatero called all in from the big blind with 8s8h. Riess turned over Ah10d, and Zapatero needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qd5d2d8d9s — Zapatero turned a set of eights, but that same card gave Riess a diamond flush to win the pot, eliminating Zapatero in eighth place.
