Jeff Cuccurullo

Jeff Cuccurullo open-jammed all-in from under-the-gun for 11,200,000 and Raphael Duval put him at risk, making the call from the small blind.

Cuccurullo: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Duval: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Cuccurullo was a huge favorite to double up but Duval picked up some additional outs when the dealer fanned out a {7-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop.

The {k-Hearts} was a safe turn card as Cuccurullo needed to fade the remaining aces and the twos which would give Duval a straight.

The dealer patted the table and swept out the {2-Clubs} on the river, making Duval's straight and Cuccurullo was eliminated in 4th place, taking home $52,000.
