Chris Minton opened the action with a raise to 120,000 before Rico Cuevas re-raised all in for his last 315,000. Minton made the call with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} while Cuevas showed {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Cuevas needed his hand to hold to stay alive and he remained ahead when the board came out {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The river, though, brought the {a-Spades}, giving Minton top pair and ending Cuevas' tournament in eighth place.

Minton moved up to 1,260,000
