Michael Coombs raised in the hijack and on the button Sachin Bhagharva three-bet. All other players folded and the action preflop was capped with Coombs getting all in against Bhagharva.
Coombs drew two cards on every street with Bhagharva standing pat the whole time.
Michael Coombs: A♦2♣ XxXx
Sachin Bhagharva: Q♣6♥3♦2♠
With his life on the line, Coombs first peeled a 9♥, which gave him any spade lower than the queen to survive.
"It's a spade," he said as he looked at his final card of 10♠ and he doubled through Bhagharva.
At another table, Chicago poker player Michael Estes was eliminated.
