After a flop of Kd10s7s, action checked to Daniel Garcia in the hijack, and he bet 400,000. James Carroll check-raised from the big blind to 1,100,000, and Stephen Gerber check-raised from under the gun to 3,000,000.

Garcia folded, and Carroll moved all in for about 7.7 million.

Gerber called all in for 4,475,000 with QdJd for an open-ended straight draw, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Carroll’s Ks3s — pair of kings with a spade flush draw.

The turn card was the 3d, giving Carroll two pair and Gerber additional outs with a diamond flush draw.

The river card was — the 10d!

Gerber caught a runner-runner diamond flush to win a huge pot worth more than 10 million, doubling up in chips.

Stephen Gerber  –  10,400,000  (83 bb)
James Carroll  –  3,200,000  (26 bb)

With 17 players remaining from a field of 3,586, the average chip stack is around 4,225,000 (34 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $13,400 each.
