The action folded around to the blinds, and Adam Geyer open-shoved with his big stack. In the big blind, Narendra Banwari considered the decision for a long while before making the call for his last ~1.08 million to put himself at risk. The news was not good for him.

Showdown
Geyer: {5-Hearts} {5-Spades}
Banwari: {3-Hearts} {3-Spades}

The flop brought {Q-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}, and Banwari found his set to pull into a commanding lead with two cards to come. He took a few steps away from the table and pumped his fist, but there were still two cards to come.

Turn: {5-Clubs}

That's the set for Geyer now, pulling back into the lead and leaving Banwari dead to the case trey. The river was the {9-Clubs}, though, and it's another set-over-set situation. This one goes Geyer's way, and it's resulted in the elimination of Banwari in fifth place. That's good for nearly $180,000 as a consolation prize.
