Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
There were fireworks in the last hand before the break and they would end up with the elimination of Andrew Kyriakou in 32nd place, further cementing the status of Ruben Padilla among the big stacks in the field.
Kyriakou raised to 60,000 preflop and was called by Ruben Padilla on the button and two other players. Kyriakou's bet on the 4♣2♣2♠ flop was just called by Padilla and that led them to the A♣ turn. Kyriakou bet once more to get called and the 7♥ river completed the board.
Kyriakou's third barrel prompted the shove by Padilla, who was snapped off to reveal a staggering setup. Kyriakou had turned aces full with the A♥A♦ but Padilla's 2♥2♦ had flopped quad deuces for a brutal knockout.
