Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 0 ante
Sam Rooks open shoved in middle position for 31,000 and Leo Valenzuela made the call for 29,000, to put himself at risk. Aaron Fanuzzi then called in the small blind having both of his opponents covered.
Leo Valenzuela: K♠Q♥ 
Sam Rooks: 4♥4♦
Aaron Fanuzzi: A♦10♥
Valenzuela pulled ahead on the K♣9♦3♥ flop, pairing his king. The turn landed the J♣ and the river brought the 2♦, securing him the triple up.
Brooks was left with just 4,000 and was eliminated the very next hand.
