Travis Decker open-jammed for 195,000 from the hijack and was called by Mitchell Brown from the cutoff. Action was on Mike Kemeter who came over the top on the button getting isolation.

Travis Decker: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Mike Kemeter: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Decker was behind and didn't receive any help from the {4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop.

The turn brought some sunshine for Decker with the {k-Diamonds} but it quickly got rained on as the dealer dropped the {a-Spades} on the river to end his tournament run in 18th place.
