Thirty seconds before the break, under the gun, Armando Viramontes Serna opened for 315,000 then put his shades on and covered his face. Skyler Halama, seated immediately to his left, announced all-in for around 3,850,000. When action folded back to Serna, he called immediately, risking his tournament life.

With the size of the pot, players remained to watch the deal despite the break already being underway. Serna had to get on his feet unable to sit still. The board ran 8♠7♦4♦2♠9♦. With neither ace nor king on the board, Halama's ladies held, sending Serna to hit the rails.

Hunter Payne: A♥Q♣
Skyler Halama: 8♦3♦
As soon as the hands were tabled and Payne saw Halama's flush, he stood up and left the table without waiting to see the rest of the deal. The dealer completed the board with a 2♥ turn and a 5♦ river.
