After a flop of Ac8h4s, Dessiree Bennett checked from the big blind, and Chad Roedersheimer bet 425,000. Brent Hoover called from the button, and Bennett folded.

The turn card was the Kd, Roedersheimer moved all in, and Hoover called all in for about 700,000 with AdJd for a pair of aces.

But Roedersheimer turned over AsQd for a pair of aces with a higher kicker, and Hoover needed a jack on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 3c, and Roedersheimer won the pot with his higher kicker to eliminate Hoover in 17th place.

Chad Roedersheimer  –  5,250,000  (53 bb)
