Carlos Bermudez (button) and Andre Bryan (big blind) got it all in preflop with similar stacks around 400K each. Bermudez had the preflop lead with AsQc against Bryan’s Kd9s.

The flop came Kc10s4s, and Bryan took the lead with a pair of kings, while Bermudez picked up a gutshot straight draw.

But the turn card was the Ac, and Bermudez retook the lead with a pair of aces.

The river card was — the 9d.

Bryan rivered two pair, kings and nines, to win the pot. Their chip stacks were counted down — Bermudez had 410,000, but Bryan had 415,000. Bryan won the pot to eliminate Bermudez in third place and collect the $200 bounty.
