Joseph Georges raised to 55,000 from middle position. Ken Hughes reraises all in from the big blind for 170,000 total. Georges thinks for about a minute and a half and then tossed out the call. The players show:

Georges: {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts}
Hughes: {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} giving Georges a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw to go with his overcard. The turn bricked, coming the {7-Spades} but the river {Q-Hearts} prompted cheers from all around. The supporters of all those who had just made the final table let out some applause as did Georges himself. Ken Hughes on the other hand, was not applauding. He was eliminated in 10th place and will take home $34,594 for his impressive finish.
