In the last hand before the break, Armando Romero raised under the gun to 70,000, Marc Goldman reraised from the button to 150,000, and Romero thought for a while before he reraised to 370,000.

Goldman five-bet all in, and Romero called all in for about 525,000 with AcQc. Goldman turned over KhKc, and Romero needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came KdQd7d4s4h, and Goldman flopped a set of kings and rivered a full house to win the pot and eliminate Romero in 12th place.
