Mykhail Lendel raised under the gun to 60,000, and Gregory Back called from the hijack.

The flop came 9h7s6d, Lendel bet 65,000, and Back called.

The turn card was the 3c, Lendel bet 150,000, Back moved all in for 175,000, and Lendel called with 10s10h for an overpair with a gutshot straight draw.

Back turned over Ad3d for a pair of threes, and he needed an ace or a three on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 5c, and Lendel won the pot with his pocket tens to eliminate Back in eighth place.

Mykhail Lendel  –  925,000  (31 bb)
Gregory Back  –  Eliminated in 8th Place  ($12,300)
