Sean Perry raised from the hijack to 150,000, Derek Gregory moved all in from the cutoff for 550,000, and Perry called with As10h.

Gregory turned over 10s10h, and he needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came KcJd7c2d10c — Perry flops a gutshot straight draw, but Gregory rivers a set of tens to win the pot and double up in chips.

Derek Gregory  –  1,300,000  (17 bb)
Sean Perry  –  3,350,000  (45 bb)

With eight players remaining from a field of 145, the average chip stack is about 1.81 million (24 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed to earn at least $87,750 each.
