Chad Roedersheimer raised UTG+1 to 500,000, Dessiree Bennett reraised from middle position to 2,000,000, and Samuel Kim called all in from the hijack for 125,000. Roedersheimer folded.

Kim turned over QsJd, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Bennett’s AdAc.

The board came 8h6d4c8cKc, and the pocket aces held up for Bennett to win the pot and eliminate Kim in ninth place.
