Michael Newman raised from the cutoff to 130,000, Eitan Elbaz-Dahan called from the small blind, and Arri Stone called from the big blind.

The flop came Jh6d5h, Elbaz-Dahan bet 450,000, Stone called, and Newman moved all in for 700,000. Elbaz-Dahan and Stone both called, and any further betting would create a side pot.

The turn card was the 10h, Elbaz-Dahan moved all in for a little more than 400,000, and Stone called all in for a little less than 400,000.

All three players turned over their cards, and here they are in descending order of chip counts:

Eitan Elbaz-Dahan:  JdJs10s4c  (set of jacks)
Arri Stone:  10c5d5s3s  (set of fives)
Michael Newman:  AhQhJc9d  (ace-high flush w/ Royal Flush draw)

The river card was the 9c, and Newman won the main pot with his ace-high flush to triple up in chips. Elbaz-Dahan won the side pot to eliminate Stone in sixth place.

Michael Newman  –  2,565,000  (34 bb)
Eitan Elbaz-Dahan  –  800,000  (11 bb)
Arri Stone  –  Eliminated in 6th Place  ($6,055)

With five players remaining from a field of 468, the average chip stack is around 1,875,000 (25 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $7,265 each.
