Action on the table folded around to Ryan Skluzak who raised all in for 30,000 from the cutoff and Dan Favreau called from the button.

Ryan Skluzak: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}
Dan Favreau: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Skluzak was behind holding live cards and nothing changed after the {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop fell.

The turn however, came the {6-Spades} giving Skluzak a straight flush draw.

Skluzak had a ton of outs heading to the river but a brick {4-Diamonds} fell and ended his tournament.
