Pedro Cairat opened for 1.1 million and saw his neighbor Angel Blanco shove for 11,725,000 from the cutoff. Bart Lybaert, on the button, over shoved and the blinds folded. Cairat tanked for a bit but eventually folded, later admitting he had a suited ace.

Angel Blanco: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Bart Lybaert: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, helping Blanco in the lead but Lybaert had a live flush draw. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank but the {7-Clubs} on the river wasn't.

Blanco eliminated in 6th place, the remaining 5 players are guaranteed �165,000.
