Jon Borenstein was all in from the button for 1,650,000 with Ah2h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the 6h6c of Brian Altman in the big blind.

The board came 9h6s4c7c5d, and Altman won the pot with a flopped set of sixes to eliminate Borenstein in 16th place.

Brian Altman  –  4,625,000  (62 bb)
