Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The board read {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. In a seemingly innocuous pot, action exploded on the river as Nick Yunis led out with an all in shove and was snap called by Steven Sarmiento.

Yunis turned over {9-Spades}{7-Clubs} for trips but he was once again barely pipped by a better kicker as Sarmiento flipped over the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} with the eight playing. All Yunis could do was shake his head in disbelief and get up from the table in 4th place.
