In a battle of the blinds, Mike Ben-Shoaff ended up all in for 1,345,000 preflop against chip leader Kevin Ho.

Ben-Shoaff: AsKd
Ho: KsJd

The 7c7h5s flop was clean for Ben-Shoaff, but the Jc was a disaster on the turn. “Oh my god,” he said, spinning out of his chair and glancing back at the table just in time to see the Ad drop off on the river. “Oh my god!” he said again.

Ben-Shoaff doubled up with aces up, taking a bite out of Ho’s big stack.

Mike Ben-Shoaff – 2,750,000 (46 bb)
Kevin Ho – 4,025,000 (67 bb)
