Balthis Busts Gouveia

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Following an opening raise by Elilton Gouveia from the small blind, Gordon Balthis pushed all in for 40,100 from a seat over, and after tanking for a couple of minutes Gouveia called the shove for nearly his entire stack.

Gouveia had {A-Spades}{7-Spades} and Balthis {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and when the board rolled out {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, the kickers played and Balthis survived with a double up.

Crippled down to less than 1,000 on that hand, Gouveia was eliminated shortly thereafter.
