After a flop of Jc8c2d, Chris Da-Silva checked from the small blind, Anibal Pabon bet 325,000 from the button, and Da-Silva check-raised to 1,405,000, leaving himself just 160K behind.

Pabon three-bet all in, and Da-Silva waited for a hand to finish on the other table before calling all in for 1,565,000 with Jh5h for a pair of jacks. But Pabon turned over QsJs for a pair of jacks with a higher kicker, and Da-Silva needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the Qh, the river card was the 4h, and Pabon won the pot with two pair, queens and jacks, to eliminate Da-Silva in 11th place.

Anibal Pabon  –  5,200,000  (33 bb)
