Kirk Steele got it all in from the small blind for about 350,000 with 8h8c, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the Ad9d of Andrew Lichtenberger in the big blind.

The board came AsJd2d6s10d, and Lichtenberger paired his ace on the flop and rivered a diamond flush to win the pot and eliminate Steele in third place.
