Bryce McVay raised to 15,000 from middle position, Matthew Hopkins reraised all in for 49,000 from the button and McVay called.

Once the other all-in and call took place, the hands were revealed.

McVay tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, dominating the {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} held by Hopkins.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, providing little help to Hopkins. The turn was the {2-Hearts}, leaving Hopkins with just three outs to survive. The river was the {A-Spades}, locking up pot for McVay and sending the remaining 1,182 players into the money.

It's not a complete loss for Hopkins, though, as he will receive a $10,000 entry into the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event.
