Nathan Thrush raises to 100,000 in the cutoff and Thomas Boivin defends his big blind.

The flop comes Club 9Club 5Diamond 3 and Boivin checks. Thrush continuation-bets 75,000, Boivin check-raises to 200,000 and Thrush calls.

The turn is the Diamond K and Boivin checks. Thrush bets 650,000, Boivin check-raises again to 1.9 million, Thrush three-bet shoves and Boivin calls.

Boivin shows Club 3Spade 3 for a set of threes and sees Thrush turn over a bigger set with Heart 9Diamond 9, leaving him with one out and one chance to catch it. The river is the Club 10, leaving Thrush’s three nines best, and he wins the pot. 

Both players have more than 2.5 million in front of them, and the dealer counts Thrush’s stack to cover slightly.

Nathan Thrush – 5,800,000 (116 bb)
Thomas Boivin – Eliminated in 43rd Place ($23,000)
