Jesse Lonis raised from the button, Thomas Boivin reraised from the small blind to 78,000, and Lonis moved all in for about 305,000.

Boivin quickly called with QdQc, and Lonis turned over 8d8c. Lonis needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Js5d2s2d2h, and the pocket queens held up for Boivin to win the pot and eliminate Lonis.
