Evan Teitelbaum moved all in from the button for about 5,200,000, and Ricardo Velasco called from the big blind with AcKs.

Teitelbaum turned over 9h8h, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 6h5c2c8cAh — Teitelbaum flopped a gutshot straight draw and paired his eight on the turn, but Velasco turned a club flush draw and paired his ace on the river to win the pot and eliminate Teitelbaum in fifth place.
