Brek Schutten raised to 125,000 from the button and Robert Burlacu called in the big blind.

The flop was KcJhTd, Burlacu checked, and Schutten continued for 80,000. Burlacu check-raised to 320,000, Schutten reraised all in with a covering stack, and Burlacu took about five seconds before he called all in for roughly 1,060,000 with Kd8s for a pair of kings. Schutten tabled Jc2h for a pair of jacks.

The turn was the Jd, vaulting Schutten into the lead with trip jacks.

The river was the 6d, safe for Schutten to win Event 72 outright for $185,400. Burlacu finished runner-up for $124,000.
