After a flop of KcJs9c, Carlos Bermudez was all in for about 850,000 with Ks7s for a pair of kings, but he needed to catch something runner-runner to stay alive against Diane Lepera’s Qh10h — a flopped king-high straight.

The turn card was the Jd, giving Bermudez outs with two pair, but the river card was the 9s. Lepera won the pot with her straight to eliminate Bermudez in 41st place.
