Jean Gaspard raised from the button to 210,000, and Shannon Shorr called from the big blind.

The flop came AhQc8h, Shorr checked, Gaspard bet 210,000, and Shorr called.

The turn card was the 9d, Shorr checked, Gaspard bet 450,000, and Shorr thought for a bit before he check-raised all in for about 870,000.

Gaspard quickly called with AcQd for top two pair, aces and queens, and Shorr turned over Qs9s for a lower two pair, queens and nines. Shorr needed to catch a nine on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 5d, and Gaspard won the pot with his top two pair to eliminate Shorr in fourth place.
