With the board showing Kd8c6sQd on the turn, Victoria Livschitz checked from the small blind, and Rick Mechammil bet 125,000 from the hijack. Tim Capretta moved all in from the cutoff for about 500,000, and Livschitz folded.

Mechammil quickly called with AcKh for a pair of kings, and Capretta turned over AdJd for a gutshot straight-flush draw. Capretta needed a diamond or a ten to stay alive.

The river card paired the board with the Qh, and Mechammil won the pot with two pair, kings and queens, to eliminate Capretta in fifth place.

Rich Mechammil  –  2,625,000  (66 bb)
