Brandon Kessous raised under the gun to 500,000, Jack Thu moved all in from the cutoff for 2,525,000, and Kessous thought for a while before he called with 8s8c.

Thu turned over As9h, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 7c6d4h5h6c, and Kessous won the pot with an eight-high straight to eliminate Thu in fourth place.
