Dessiree Bennett raised UTG+1 to 600,000, Steve Blackmon called from the button, and Sean Byars moved all in from the big blind for 1,750,000. Bennett called, and Blackmon thought for a while before he folded.

Byars turned over QsQd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Bennett’s KdJd. (Blackmon said he folded pocket fours.)

The board came 8h8c2dAdKh, and Bennett paired her king on the river to win the pot and eliminate Byars in seventh place.

Dessiree Bennett  –  14,000,000  (56 bb)
Sean Byars  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($11,800)
