Judy Bielan raised from middle position to 425,000, Maikel Cruz moved all in from the hijack for 1,950,000, and Chase Hounshell called from the small blind.

Bielan folded, and Cruz showed AhKc. Hounshell turned over JsJd, and Cruz needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 9d3d3c5h10d, and the pocket jacks held up for Hounshell to win the pot and eliminate Cruz in 51st place.
