George Varga raised UTG+1 to 125,000, the player in the hijack called, and Chad Summers moved all in from the small blind for about 460,000. Varga thought for a while before he reraised, and the hijack folded.

Summers turned over KsKd, and needed it to hold to stay alive against Varga’s Kh10h.

The board came Jd9d9h10c10s, and Varga flopped a gutshot straight draw, paired his ten on the turn, and rivered a full house, tens full of nines, to crack kings, win the pot, and eliminate Summers in 67th place.

George Varga  –  4,700,000  (94 bb)
Chad Summers  –  Eliminated in 67th Place  ($3,000)
