On the tail end of a three-way pot, the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} turn was checked through and Daniel Merrilees bet the {9-Hearts} river for 150,000. Elgio Gomez Barrios called from two seats over, as did another player, and Merrilees tabled the {8-Spades}{5-Spades}. The dealer announced "showdown please" despite no all in showdown, and Gomez Barrios exposed his {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a straight while the third player mucked.

One hand later, Gomez Barrios moved all in for 34,000 and Merrilees just called on the button. The small blind moved all in for around 90,000 and the Brit snap-called.

Elgio Gomez Barrios: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Small blind: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Daniel Merrilees: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

The {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} instantly gave Merrilees top set, and he scored a double knockout with the {5-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river run out.

He moved tables, causing "woahhh's" and then came over to carry the rest of his belongings, once the Brit sat down, he greeted everyone with a "what's up boys."
