Decalo's kings had him in prime shape for a triple up. Meanwhile, Heshmati was at risk for his tournament life now with what was the third-best hand preflop. He asked for a six as the dealer began the runout.

Unfortunately for him, he was unable to hit as the board came . Decalo scored a triple and Heshmati found himself with no chips to play, taking fifth place in the tournament as a result.
