Haytko Sends Velador to the Exit

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Julian Velador opened to 3,600 from early position before James Haytko from middle position made it 9,000.

Velador made the call and sent them to a flop of 6♥A♥10♦. Velador shipped it for approximately 20,000. Haytko wasted no time making the call to put Velador at risk.

Julian Velador: K♥4♥All in
James Haytko: A♣K♠

Velador was still drawing live with outs to a flush draw, while Haytko had the best of it with top pair top kicker.

The 5♦ turn was a blank as Velador was still in need of a heart to escape elimination, but it did not come on the 10♠ river to award the pot to Haytko.
