Randy Gil limped from under the gun, and Steven Gnatovich raised to 2,200 in the cutoff. Zackary Moore three-bet to 5,700 on the button, and Gil let his hand go.
Gnatovich made the call, and both players checked the monotone K♣9♣2♣ flop. Gnatovich led out for 6,200 on the J♣ turn, and Moore called to see the 10♣ river.
After taking a moment, Gnatovich tossed in the rest of his stack and Moore made the instant call while turning over A♣Q♣ for a royal flush.
Gnatovich briefly flashed Jx10x, exiting the tournament area as Moore collected the pot.
