Jonathan Wang raised from middle position to 800,000, and Ari Katz reraised from the small blind to 3,500,000, leaving himself just a little bit behind. Stephen Gerber moved all in from the big blind for roughly 7.5 million, Wang quickly folded, and Katz quickly called all in for a little less than 4,000,000 with AcKs.

Gerber turned over 10h10c, and Katz needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qs8s4d4h9c, and the pocket tens held up for Gerber to win the pot and eliminate Katz in eighth place.
