Emerson Ward raised from the hijack to 125,000, Andrew Gordon moved all in from the button for 335,000, and Ward called with KdJs.

Gordon turned over AcQc, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came As10h2c7dQd — Gordon paired his ace on the flop and his queen on the river, but the queen gave Ward an ace-high straight. Ward won the pot to eliminate Gordon in fifth place.
