With 10 players remaining, Eric Mutschler moved all in under the gun for 18,000, Rishi Srivastava called from the small blind, and Davy Ridout called from the big blind.

The flop came Kc10s3s, Srivastava bet, and Ridout folded.

Mutschler showed 8s8d, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Srivastava’s AsAd.

The turn card was the 2s, the river card was the Qh, and the pocket aces held up for Srivastava to win the pot and eliminate Mutschler in 10th place.
