He tabled 
for two pair, which was ahead of the

Kegan Cummings just eliminated Anoop Jugurnath and Jugurnath wasn't terribly excited about how it went down. The two were heads up to the 
flop and Cummings bet about 125,000. Jugurnath shoved all in and Cummings thought for a moment. He called.
When he showed 
, Jugurnath threw up his hands slightly.
"You could have had ace king," Cummings said, "I'm not trying to slow roll you."
The chips were counted and Cummings had Jugurnath covered. Jugurnath turned to the tournament clock to check his finish.
"Ninety one," he said referecing the number of players left indicated by the tournament clock.
