Joe Villella raised to 50,000 under the gun, and Joseph Astorina reraised pot from the small blind. Villella moved all in when it was back to him, and Astorina called.

Astorina: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Villella: {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop was a grim one for the shorter Astorina: {4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}, giving Villella queens. The turn was the {8-Hearts}, giving Astorina a chance at survival if a low card came one, though he'd lose a chunk of his chips by getting quartered. Another queen hit the river though, and Villella collected another KO.

Villella now has a vast majority of chips in play three-handed, and blinds are currently 10,000-20,000.
