Chad Link: 7♣7♦

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Antonio Torpoco and Nicholas Rigby were heads-up in a pot that had nearly 200,000 in the middle already. Torpoco was first to act and announced all in as the bigger stack. Rigby had a decision to make for his remaining 140,000 chips and he dipped into the tank.

Nearly two minutes had passed and the clock was called. Rigby dropped in a stack of chips to call and Torpoco turned over A♠K♠ for the nut flush. Rigby could only muster Q♥9♦ for two pair and was eliminated early on Day 2.
