With the board showing 7h4c3s6d on the turn and about 200K already in the pot, Philip Wojtuniecki moved all in under the gun for about 290,000, covering Nick Yunis, who was UTG+1 with about 100K in his stack.

Yunis tanked for a long time before he eventually called with AhKh for ace high. But Wojtuniecki turned over Ad4d for a pair of fours. Yunis would need a king on the river to stay alive.

The river card paired the board with the 6c, and Wojtuniecki won the pot with two pair, sixes and fours, to eliminate Yunis in ninth place.
