Seated in the Lo-jack, Gokul Narayanan open-shoved for 1,800,000. Action folded to Peter Carey, who re-shoved 2,200,000 from the Cut-off. The remaining players all got out of the way, and the two contestants went to showdown.

Gokul Narayanan: A♥10♠
Peter Carey: A♠K♣

Carey was looking good to eliminate his opponent, but Narayanan overtook the lead on the Q♦9♠10♣ flop. Carey wasn’t able to catch up on the A♣8♠ runout, and the larger chunk of his stack went to Narayanan.

Gokul Narayanan: 3,800,000
Peter Carey: 391,000
