Lunique Petiote

There was a three-way all-in situation between Lunique Petiote in the cutoff (2,525,000 in chips), Steven McKoy on the button (2,700,000 in chips), and Daniyal Gheba in the small blind (6,600,000 in chips).

These were their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Daniyal Gheba:  AdKh
Steven McKoy:  9s9h
Lunique Petiote:  QsQd

The board came QhJd5h3s9d — Petiote flopped a set of queens to win the main pot, and McKoy rivered a set of nines to win the relatively tiny side pot and stay alive.

Lunique Petiote  –  8,075,000  (32 bb)
Steven McKoy  –  350,000  (1 bb)
Daniyal Gheba  –  3,900,000  (16 bb)

Unfortunately for McKoy, he failed to make a comeback, and he was eliminated a hand or two later in 12th place.

Steven McKoy  –  Eliminated in 12th Place  ($18,490)

With 11 players remaining from a field of 4,529, the average chip stack is about 8,225,000 (33 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $18,490 each.
