A short-stacked Justin Barnum got it in with the A♦10♠ and was looked up by Narcis Nedelcu with the A♥J♣.
The kicker played a role on the J♦9♠7♦7♠A♠ runout to send Barnum to the payout desk.

Kristen Foxen opened to 24,000 from the cutoff before John Dolan three-bet jammed for 195,000 out of the small blind. Foxen did not immediately call but, after asking for a count, committed calling chips to put Dolan at risk.
John Dolan: A♥10♥
Kristen Foxen: A♦10♣
The two players were most likely heading for a chop and that was in fact the outcome after the board ran out 2♣Q♣6♥A♠8♠ to give each a small profit for their efforts.
Picking up the action on the A♦J♣5♥10♥2♥ river, Anthony Wise had checked out of the big blind. Daniel Smiljkovic then moved all-in with the covering stack and that sent Wise deep into the tank.
With 226,000 behind, Wise eventually called and Smiljkovic immediately said "good call" as he flipped over his Q♥J♦ for a pair of jacks. Wise had that beat with the J♥10♦ and scored the double.
With the pot at around 70,000 chips on a flop of 4♣8♥9♥, the UK's Abid Riaz ended up getting his stack of 352,000 into the middle after the two engaged in battle on the flop.
Abid Riaz: A♥5♥
Joshua Payne: A♠9♦
Riaz was behind but not for long as the 7♥ turn gave him an unbeatable flush with the inconsequential 4♥ falling on the river, which put a small dent in the stack of Payne.
Ruud van Lanen opened in early position before a middle position player three-bet to 80,000. Van Lanen then four-bet to 175,000 and his opponent called.
Van Lanen sized down to 55,000 on the flop of 2♦A♣10♠ and his opponent called. Van Lanen then checked on the 5♥ turn and called a bet of 125,000 from his opponent.
Van Lanen checked again on the Q♦ river and his opponent checked back. Van Lanen showed A♥J♦ and it was good to win the pot.
Rex Maiden was in the big blind and went heads-up to a flop of J♥9♣8♦. An opponent in early position then moved all in for around 300,000 and Maiden put him at risk.
All-In Player: A♦J♣
Rex Maiden: 10♠7♠
The at-risk player showed top pair, but Maiden has flopped a straight and was a big favorite to score the knockout. The rest of the board came Q♣9♦ and Maiden took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
Miles Barnum also recently busted. "I shoved for three bigs with ace-ten and the guys calls blind. He has ace-jack," Barum said.
"I was never above 100,000 all day. That's printing money. That's like a final table jump," Barnum added after securing a pay jump.
Parker Talbot raised to 28,000 on the button and the big blind called. Talbot then continued for 22,000 on the 5♠Q♥J♦ flop and saw his opponent check-call.
The 4♦ was checked by the big blind as well. Talbot checked back, but not before ordering a beverage.
The big blind checked for a third time on the J♥ river and this time Talbot fired 62,000 chips in the middle. The big blind took one more look at his cards before mucking and granting the pot to the Canadian streamer.
