Jake Cody raised from the hijack to 60,000, Kevin Eyster called from the cutoff, and Artem Metalidi reraised from the small blind to 215,000, leaving himself just 85K behind.

Cody folded, Eyster moved all in, and Metalidi called all in for 300,000 with AdQd. Eyster turned over 10s10h, and Metalidi needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Js9s7h3s6c, and the tens held up for Eyster to win the pot and eliminate Metalidi in sixth place.
