Steve Wilkie opened to 30,000 in the hijack and was called by Michael Giardina on the button.

"All in," announced Eddy Konarske in the small blind.

"All in," responded Wilkie immediately, causing Konarske to sit back in his chair and let out a concerned exhale.

"I don't think I'm supposed to call with this," said Giardina, folding {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} face-up.

Eddy Konarske: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Steve Wilkie: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Konarske was happy to see he was in a coin-flip situation for his tournament life and said to himself that he wished to win a coin flip. His wish was granted as the runout {3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} left his tens best to score him the double.

"Let's fucking go!" said Konarske. "Let's go! Sorry," he added.

"Nice hand," was heard from across the table, to which he gave a thank you before having his stack of 190,000 counted for the double.
