Najeem Ajez limped in early position and Alex Loyer raised to 40,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Ajez who made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of J♣8♦3♥, and Ajez check-raised the 40,000 continuation bet all-in, and Loyer quickly called off his 154,000 stack.
Alex Loyer: K♣K♦7♣6♥
Najeem Ajez: Q♥J♥8♣8♠
Loyer was out-flopped by the set of eights from Ajez and couldn't find one of the remaining kings as the board completed with the 9♦ turn, and 6♣ river.
