Seth Davies raises from the hijack to 30,000, Michael Morton moves all in from the cutoff for 262,000, and Mukul Pahuja (who recently lost a big pot to Brian Altman) moves all in over the top from the big blind for 568,000. Davies folds.

Morton turns over Heart QDiamond Q, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive against Pahuja’s Diamond ASpade Q.

The board comes Diamond JSpade 5Heart 5Heart AClub J, and Pahuja pairs his ace on the turn to win the pot and eliminate Morton from the tournament.

Mukul Pahuja  –  882,000  (74 bb)
Michael Morton  –  Eliminated in 55th Place  ($9,558)
