Greg Himmelbrand (pictured) raises from the cutoff to 110,000, Nacho Barbero reraises from the button to 300,000, and Himmelbrand four-bets it to 1,210,000. Barbero calls, and both players have more than 90% of their chips already in the pot.

The flop comes Heart 9Club 5Diamond 3, Himmelbrand checks, Barbero moves all in for 105,000, and Himmelbrand calls all in for about 90,000 with Heart KSpade J for king high. Barbero turns over Spade KDiamond K, and Himmelbrand needs running jacks or a runner-runner straight to stay alive.

The turn card is the Heart 2, the river card is the Diamond 7, and the pocket kings hold up for Barbero to win the pot and eliminate Himmelbrand in 20th place.

Nacho Barbero  –  2,750,000  (55 bb)
Greg Himmelbrand  –  Eliminated in 20th Place  ($38,920)
