Vinny Monteiro

After a flop of 10c7d2d, Vinny Monteiro moved all in from the big blind for about 600,000, and Kevin Payton called from the cutoff with JsJc for an overpair.

Monteiro turned over Jd8d for a diamond flush draw with a gutshot straight draw, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 2c, the river card was the 4c, and Payton won the pot with his pocket jacks to eliminate Monteiro in 21st place.
