Kyle Taddei

Action folded to Javier Sarache on the button and he moved all in for 1,875,000. Kyle Taddei took a stand with his stack and moved all in for 2,025,000 from the small blind. Robert Gonzalez asked for both counts and called having them covered.

Gonzalez: AhKd
Taddei: Ac9s
Sarache: Qh2h

Gonzalez was ahead with his big slick and the KcKs4h flop gave him trip kings to leave Taddei drawing dead. The 9c turn meant Sarache was now drawing dead himself and Gonzalez locked up a big double knockout after the 8c river.

Tournament staff paused the clock and players redrew seats at the eight-handed final table.

Roberto Gonzalez – 9,700,000 (39 bb)
