Fausto Valdez raised to 2,400,000, and Allen Pock defended his big blind. After the flop came [7h][5s][3c], Pock shoved all in, and Valdez bet him into the pot with [Kh][Ks].

Pock had top pair with [9d][7d] but needed more help to survive. The [Ah] turn and [6d] river changed nothing, and Valdez secured the knockout to take the chip lead.
