Tim Baker

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

When it folded to Ermo Kosk in the small blind he shoved with only Will Kassouf to get through in the big blind. Kassouf only had around 10,000 in his stack, and after looking at his cards, put them all into the middle to indicate a call.

Will Kassouf: A♠6♦ All in
Ermo Kosk: A♥9♣

The runout of 4♦J♥Q♠J♠2♠ meant Kosk's ace-nine high was the best hand and Kassouf was sent to the showers.
