Just a couple of hands after his flopped set of fives was run down by Sandy Ferguson in a huge pot that left him with just a few big blinds, John Germano put his last 27,000 in from the small blind after a raise by Ferguson.
Ronald Kaepernick called in the big blind, as did Ferguson.
On the K♠7♣2♠ flop, Kaepernick led out for 25,000 and Ferguson folded.
John Germano: A♥5♠
Ronald Kaepernick: K♥J♥
Germano had flopped top pair, leaving Germano needing an ace to survive.
The board completed 8♥2♣, bringing Germano no help and sending him to the rail.

John Germano raised to 15,000 in early position and was called by Ronald Fienberg in the hijack.
On the K♥8♣7♣ flop, Germano continued for 25,000 and Fienberg moved all in for just under 100,000.
Germano made the call and had been trapped preflop.
Ronald Fienberg: A♣A♦
John Germano: K♠J♦
Fienberg had got the perfect flop to catch Germano with his aces, and after the board completed with the 4♦ turn and 9♥ river, he had slow played his way to a double-up.
