Kirk Brown

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After an open from Lirio Fontamillas, Tavish Margers shoved all in for around 750,000 and Fontamillas called to put him at risk.

Tavish Margers: K♠Q♦
Lirio Fontamillas: A♣Q♣

Margers would need some help as Fontamillas had him dominated, but the runout didn't do it as it came 10♠4♣5♦5♠2♠ and he was sent to the rail as the first casualty at the final table.
