After a flop of QhJh8d, Henry Billete bet 500,000 from the cutoff, Sean Phillippi raised from the button to 2,000,000, and Billete three-bet all in for 3,775,000.

Phillipi called with Js8s for two pair, jacks and eights, but Billete turned over 10s9s for a flopped queen-high straight. Billete needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the 10h, the river card was the Qs, and the straight held up for Billete to win the pot and double up in chips.

Henry Billete  –  9,000,000  (30 bb)
Sean Phillippi  –  10,500,000  (35 bb)

With 12 players remaining from a field of 6,853, the average chip stack is around 11,425,000 (38 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $22,100 each.
