Steve Gross moves all in from the button, and Vivek Rajkumar calls from the big blind with A3. Gross turns over J10, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes KK974, and Gross picks up a double-gutshot straight draw along with a flush draw, but misses all of his outs. Vivek Rajkumar wins the pot with ace high to eliminate Steve Gross in fifth place.

Seat 1. Vivek Rajkumar - 5,285,000
Seat 3. Gregory Brooks - 9,480,000
Seat 4. Amir Lehavot - 1,265,000
Seat 5. Steve Gross - Out in 5th Place ($304,000)
Seat 6. Carlos Mortensen - 4,330,000
