Action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing between Angelo Gambrelis in late position and Rich Ellis in the hijack.
With the board reading 7♦K♣6♥10♦K♥, Gambrelis checked and Ellis fired out a bet of 100,000. Gambrelis thought for a moment before flicking in the call.
"You're good, I missed," said Ellis as he turned over A♦J♦ for busted straight and flush draws.
Gambrelis tabled K♠2♥ for trip kings to scoop the pot.

Angelo Gambrelis raised to 24,000 in middle position and Pam McGuire flatted in the hijack.
On the flop of 2♠3♦6♥ Gambrelis continued with a bet of 21,000 and McGuire called.
The turn landed the J♥ and Gambrelis moved all in to put McGuire at risk who had about 85,000 behind. McGuire thought for a brief moment and made the call.
Pam McGuire: A♣J♣
Angelo Gambrelis: K♥7♥
McGuire was in great shape to double up with her pair of jacks but the 5♥ rolled off on the river, giving Gambrelis a flush.
As McGuire stood up to exit the tournament area, she was met with a huge round of applause from her rail as well as her fellow competitors.
