Kiaran McLaughlin moves all in from middle position for 80,000, Kendal Knowles called from the hijack, and the player in the big blind thought for a while before he also called. There was 270K in the main pot, and any further betting would create a side pot.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Ah7s6dJs, the big blind checked, Knowles bet 75,000, and the big blind folded.

McLaughlin showed 8c7c for a pair of sevens, but Knowles turned over QcJh for a pair of jacks. McLaughlin needed a seven or an eight to stay alive.

The river card was the 6s, and Knowles won the pot to eliminate McLaughlin in 221st place.
