This has been a very quiet final table so far, with minimal action.

In the most recent hand, Alcides Gomez raised from the button to 725,000, and Christina Gollins called from the big blind.

The flop came AcJs10h, Gollins checked, Gomez bet 500,000, and Gollins called.

The turn card was the Kd, and both players checked.

The river card was the 6c, Gollins bet 1,600,000, and Gomez thought for a bit before he called. Gollins showed QcJc to win the pot with an ace-high straight, and Gomez mucked.

That was the biggest pot of the past 45 minutes.

Christina Gollins  –  23,450,000  (78 bb)
