Kobi Ribak moved all in under the gun for 460,000, and Elijah Ruffin called from the big blind with Kh8h. Ribak turned over Jc10h, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Ac9s5s8c6h, and Ribak turned an open-ended straight draw, but improved no further. Ruffin won the pot with a turned pair of eights to eliminate Ribak in sixth place.
