Just as we found Nathan Grow sitting on a chipleading stack around 315K, the player in the hijack moved all in for 6,100, and Grow called from the button. Kenneth Bruno thought for a while in the big blind before he also called.

Bruno and Grow both checked to the river on a board of AdQc10d5h6d, and all three players turned over their cards.

Nathan Grow:  Kh8d  (king high)
Kenneth Bruno:  KcQh  (pair of queens)
Hijack:  9s8s  (nine high)

Bruno won the pot with his pair of queens to eliminate the player in the hijack. Grow lost the hand, but is still above 300K in chips.

Kenneth Bruno  –  100,000  (63 bb)
Nathan Grow  –  310,000  (194 bb)
