Vinny Monteiro got it all in from the big blind for 5,525,000 with 8d8c, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the Ah7h of Raffaello Locatelli in the cutoff.

The board came 9c8h7d5s7c, and Monteiro flopped a set of eights and rivered a full house to win the pot and double up in chips.

The players tell us that Monteiro has had a streak of premium pocket pairs, getting pocket kings, pocket queens, pocket jacks, and pocket eights in short order — though it sounds like he only really got paid on the pocket eights.

Vinny Monteiro  –  11,950,000  (20 bb)
Raffaello Locatelli  –  6,200,000  (10 bb)

With 10 players remaining from a field of 7,703, the average chip stack is about 15,400,000 (26 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $25,420 each.

Event 1: Andrew Pecina Shoves the River and Doubles Thru Tommy Morgado

$400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$1,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 35:  200,000/400,000 with a 400,000 ante
Players Remaining:  13 of 7,703

Andrew Pecina raised from the button to about 1,200,000, and Tommy Morgado called from the small blind.

The flop came 10h8s8d, Morgado bet 800,000, and Pecina called.

The turn card was the 3c, Morgado checked, Pecina bet 1,500,000, and Morgado called.

The river card was the 5s, Morgado bet 2,700, and Pecina announced a bet of 6,000,000. But Pecina may have misjudged his stack, because once it’s counted out, Pecina only has 5,750,000 — so he was all in.

Morgado tanked for a long time, extending into the break, before he called with 4d4c for two pair, eights and fours.

But Pecina turned over Ks8c to win the pot with trip eights and double up in chips.

Andrew Pecina  –  19,300,000  (48 bb)
