Jason Block raised under the gun to 350,000, Michael Garcia moved all in from the cutoff for 1,950,000, and Block thought for a bit before he called with 8d8c.

Garcia turned over AhKc, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Jc10d7d9cAc — both players flopped gutshot straight draws, and Block turned a jack-high straight to win the pot and eliminate Garcia in 11th place.

Jason Block  –  5,975,000  (40 bb)

Metter moved all in under the gun for 2,100,000, and Nick Palma called all in from the small blind for 1,200,000 with AcQd.

The board came AhKs8c6d3h — Palma flopped a pair of aces, but Metter turned a set of sixes to win the pot and eliminate Palma in 10th place.
