The action folded around to the blinds where Uri Keidar moved all in, putting big blind Rep Porter to the decision for his tournament life. Porter looked down at {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} and confidently announced a call, while Keidar tabled {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

Porter is not one to stand up for an all in, and he remained comfortably seated with a slight grin on his face as he prepared for what would be his final board of the day. The dealer spread out {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {10-Hearts} to make Keidar the winning pair of nines.

That spells the end of the road for the gregarious Rep Porter after quite an impressive tournament. He was well rewarded for his efforts, too, as he stopped by the cage to pick up $121,115. That marks Porter's fourth-largest career cash, and we have to wonder when how many more six-figure scores it'll take before Porter gives up his day job.
