Level 22

Miguel Illescas moved all-in from the cutoff for his remaining 323,000 chips and action folded around to Fabio Costa in the big blind. Costa asked for a count before making the call.
Miguel Illescas: Q♦J♥ 
Fabio Costa: A♦Q♣
The chess Grandmaster was at risk, with his elimination marking the end of the Winamax WIPs' presence in the tournament. The flop came 7♠9♥2♥, offering little help. The K♠ turn provided additional outs, but the A♣ river sealed Illescas' fate.
