After a flop of 10c8d6h, Rafael Rodriguez checked from the small blind, Cangir Elcin bet 125,000 from under the gun, and Rodriguez check-raised to 325,000. Elcin called.

The turn card was the Kh, and Rodriguez moved all in for about 1,460,000. Elcin went into the tank for a long time, carefully counting out his own chip stack (he had about 1,045,000).

After a while, Elcin said, “You put me in a very difficult position.”

Eventually, Elcin folded, and Rodriguez took the pot to increase his chipleading stack.

Rafael Rodriguez  –  2,375,000  (59 bb)
Cangir Elcin  –  1,045,000  (26 bb)

With seven players remaining, the average chip stack is around 1,335,000 (33 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $10,200 each.
