Sergio Perez raised UTG+1 to 130,000, Tamara Goldshteyn called from the hijack, and Isiah James moved all in from the small blind for 460,000. Perez moved all in over the top for 935,000, and Goldshteyn thought for a while before folding AcJc face up.

James turned over As7h, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Perez’s KsKh.

The board came QhQc3c5c9d, and the pocket kings held up for Perez to win the pot and eliminate James in 21st place.

Goldshteyn would have made a flush if she had stayed in the pot, and she told Perez she would have called James’s shove if Perez hadn’t.
