Juan Mubarak raised under the gun to 250,000, Chris Da-Silva called UTG+1, and Dessiree Bennett moved all in from middle position for 1,660,000. Mubarak thought for a while before he folded, and Da-Silva tanked for a long time before he called with 9s9d.

Bennett turned over KsKh, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 7h6c2d7dJs, and the pocket kings held up for Bennett to win the pot and double up in chips.

Dessiree Bennett  –  3,820,000  (38 bb)
Chris Da-Silva  –  1,875,000  (19 bb)
