Arthur Morris raises from middle position, and Jeff Banghart reraises from the button to 200,000. Alem Girma calls from the small blind, and Morris also calls.

The flop comes Spade 9Heart 8Club 7, and Girma moves all in for 945,000. Morris thinks for a while before he calls, and Banghart quickly folds.

Girma turns over Club KClub J for a gutshot straight draw, and he needs to improve to stay alive against Morris’s Spade 7Heart 7 for a set of sevens.

The turn card is the Heart 2, the river card is the Club 4, and Morris wins the pot with his set of sevens to eliminate Girma in 24th place.

Arthur Morris  –  4,100,000  (137 bb)
Alem Girma  –  Eliminated in 24th Place  ($17,500)
