A player raised from middle position, Yaroslav Nakonechnyy moved all in from the big blind for 130,000, and his opponent called with KcQh. Nakonechnyy turned over Ad8d, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came 8c2c2sJd4c, and Nakonechnyy won the pot with two pair, eights and deuces, to double up in chips.

Yaroslav Nakonechnyy  –  290,000  (15 bb)

The board came 9s5c4sAs10d, and the pocket kings held up for Stewart to win the pot and eliminate Navarrete in 15th place.
