A full board of 10♠K♠5♠2♦3♥ was showing and all of the chips were in the middle of the table in a pot between Jack Kiriakus & Fabiano Kovalski.

Kiriakus had Q♥10♥ for a flopped pair of tens but was behind to the turned set of Kovalski, who had 2♠2♣. That pot sent Kovalski's stack toward the 7,000,000 mark, and left Kiriakus on the rail.

Vladimir Erceg: K♦10♥All in
Fabiano Kovalski: A♥10♣

Erceg's two pair were bested by Kovalski's Broadway to send him out the door.
