On the last hand before break, Matthew Riffel moved all in for 192,000 on the button and Thanh Bui called in the small blind.
Matthew Riffel: A♠4♣
Thanh Bui: 10♣10♦
Bui was ahead with his tens as the board came J♦7♣8♣K♦, leaving Riffel a card away from elimination. The river, though, brought the A♦ to give Riffel top pair and the double up.
