Michael Amato raised from the cutoff to 400,000, Nelson Mari Sanchez moved all in from the big blind for 1,600,000, and Amato thought for a while before he called with Jc7c.

Sanchez turned over Ah4d, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 9s4s3d6c5s, and Sanchez paired his four on the flop, only to see Amato river a seven-high straight. Amato won the pot to eliminate Sanchez in 17th place.
