The Rise and Fall of Ueberton De Aquino
Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation Ueberton De Aquino was all in for roughly 600,000 and up against Nikola Marcetic who had a slightly covering stack.
Ueberton De Aquino: K♦K♥ 
Nikola Marcetic: A♣K♣
Aquino seemed poised to score a massive double up with pocket kings but Marcetic picked up some additional outs on the Q♣9♣5♥ flop in the form of a flush draw. The flush came right in on the 4♣ turn leaving Aquino drawing dead.
Aquino, who just an hour ago held the overall chip lead, was visibly disgusted and already out of his seat by the team the 3♣ river was dealt while Marcetic dragged in a monster pot.
