A player raised from early position, Jacobo Montoya called from middle position, and the player in the small blind moved all in. The original raiser folded, and Montoya called with AcQc.

The small blind turned over 8h8d, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qh10s9d2s7d, and Montoya won the pot with a flopped pair of queens to eliminate his opponent from the tournament.

Jacobo Montoya  –  700,000  (70 bb)
