With the board showing Jc7s4c on the turn, Steve Queen was all in under the gun for 1,265,000 with KdKc, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against Peter Vitantonio’s KsJs (pair of jacks) in the big blind.

The turn card was the 10h, the river card was the 10d, and the pocket kings held up for Queen to win the pot and double up in chips.

Steve Queen  –  2,800,000  (47 bb)
Peter Vitantonio  –  2,100,000  (35 bb)

With 18 players remaining from a field of 1,165, the average chip stack is about 2,590,000 (43 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $26,290 each. The next pay jump will be $31,950 for 16th place.

Action will continue tonight until the end of Level 28, or there are six players left, whichever comes first.
