Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jesus Ramos raised to 12,000 in early position and Guillermo Fontan moved all in for 98,000 in the small blind. Ramos called, and Fontan immediately took out his phone and began filming the action.

Guillermo Fontan: A♦A♥ All in
Jesus Ramos: 8♠8♣

Fontan had found two aces and was the favorite to double up, but the Q♦J♠8♥ flop gave Ramos a set and the lead. The K♦ turn gave Fontan more outs with a straight draw, but he missed the 5♦ river.

"Good game, buddy," Ramos told him as Fontan made his exit a few spots short of the money.
