Gerald Limber raised from middle position and was called by Eric Florczak in the hijack. Then a player on the button three-bet all in, and the small blind Daniel Beavers four-bet all in. Once it got back to Limber, he made the call to put his tournament at risk, and Florczak folded.
Button: A♠K♥
Gerald Limber: Q♠Q♣
Daniel Beavers: A♣J♦
Limber was ahead with his pocket queens, but after the 6♥K♦7♣ flop the player on the button took the lead with his pair of kings. But the Q♦ turn left the player on the button drawing dead after Limber turned a set of queens. Limber would need to fade a 10 which would give Beavers a Broadway straight. He did just that after the 5♦ river to eliminate the player on the button and scoop the pot.
