Rainer Tews moved all in for 75,000 in the cutoff and John Krpan called for his last 72,000 on the button. Ryan Riess was in the big blind and asked for a count of both stacks as he briefly considered the decision, but he eventually folded and left Tews and Krpan heads-up.
John Krpan: A♠K♠
Rainer Tews: Q♣Q♠
The 8♣8♠6♦ flop kept Tews in the lead with his queens, but Krpan picked up a flush draw on the 9♠ ]turn to go with his two overcards. The 3♦ river, though, was no help and he was sent to the rail.
