Justin Donato moved all in from UTG+1 for 1,275,000, but Alejandro Gonzalez didn’t notice, and tried to raise from the small blind to 625,000. Once it was pointed out to him, Gonzalez decided to call the additional 650,000 rather than forfeit the 625,000.

Donato turned over Kd9c, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Gonzalez’s 10c8h.

The board came Kh7h4h4c5h — Donato paired his king on the flop, but Gonzalez rivered an eight-high flush to win the pot and eliminate Donato in 20th place.
