Kevin Ewald loses a small pot to Hugues Girard when he check-calls the river of a Spade JClub 9Diamond 7Club KSpade 8 river for 50,000 and mucks against the Heart 10Diamond 9 of the Frenchman.

Two hands later, he more than makes up for it by sending Michael Gathy to the rail.

They get it in after a Diamond 9Diamond 5Heart 4 flop and Gathy needs a lot of help with the Heart QHeart 9 for top pair, as Ewald is miles ahead holding the Club 4Spade 4 for bottom set. The Heart 10 turn opens up the flush draw but the Diamond 3 river is a blank.

Kevin Ewald – 2,000,000 (100 bb)
Hugues Girard – 475,000 (24 bb)
Michael Gathy – Eliminated in 36th Place ($14,400)
