Eli Ross raised to 260,000 from the cutoff, and Pedro Mendes three-bet to 670,000 on the button. Ross called.

On the flop, Ross checked and Mendes bet 800,000. Ross jammed for 2.205 million and Mendes called.

Ross:
Mendes

Mendes had the best hand with a pair of eights, but Ross was very live with a gutter, a flush draw and two overs. The turn brought Ross into the lead, and the river gave Ross a flush and brought Mendes closer to the rest of the field.

Pedro Mendes - 6.2 million (52 bb)
Eli Ross - 5.8 million (48 bb)
