From the button, Aaron Benton raised to 325,000 from his massive stack of chips. Ernst Hermans made the call, bringing us to another flop.

The flop came down {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades} and Hermans led out for 375,000. Benton made the call.

The turn card was the {Q-Clubs} and Hermans moved all in. Benton snapped him off with two kings in his hand — {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Hermans held {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}.

The river card completed the board with the {6-Clubs} and completed the tournament. Hermans was eliminated in second place.

*Hermans earned a different amount than that listed here due to the chop.
