Connor Richards

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On a board of 8♠2♠K♠, Sergio Da Silva Veloso checked and Santhosh Suvarna bet 310,000. Veloso check-jammed and Suvarna called with a bigger stack.

Sergio Da Silva Veloso: A♠K♦ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: A♣A♥

It was a dream flop for Veloso but he had run into aces and couldn't hit a spade or king as the board bricked out to mark his elimination on the soft bubble.
