Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

David Morton moved all in for 143,000 second to act, and Joey Weissman got the count then shoved over from the button. Both blinds folded.

Morton: {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Weissman: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Weissman was in a dominating position, and the {10-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop kept it that way. A {k-Diamonds} hit the turn to give Morton a straight draw, thought. The river card that emerged was the {j-Diamonds}, causing a start from Morton and giving him a winning straight.

Left with just 30,000, Weissman was all in two hands later. Mike Comisso called on the button, as did both blinds. Vinicius Lima led out 30,000 on the {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, and Comisso raised to 90,000. Lima folded a {7-Clubs} face-up.

Comisso: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Weissman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The tournament was over for Weissman unless he picked up help on the turn, which he did with the {q-Diamonds}. A {q-Clubs} river didn't do it for him, though, and he wished everyone good luck.
