Oh, the Drama

A player under the gun open-shoved for about 110,000 total, and he almost made it safely around the whole table. In the big blind, though, Alex Kamberis looked down at {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and insta-called, putting his opponent's {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} in bad shape to double.

The flop was, well, pretty awesome. It came out {J-Spades} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} to give the at-risk player his set of tens, but he wasn't out of the woods yet as Kamberis had flopped open-ender. Sure enough, the tide turned when the {8-Spades} peeled off the deck, pulling Kamberis back into the lead with his straight to the queen.

The all-in player still had hope. There was four to a split-pot straight flush on board, and a board pair would give him the superior full house as well. It wasn't meant to be though; the blank {6-Diamonds} filled out the board, and Kamberis pumped his fist in celebration.

After picking up that knockout, Kamberis is up to 385,000.
