Blind vs Blind

It folded around to Daniel Wjuniski who was in the small blind. He moved all in and Jose Gatmaitan in the big blind snap-called.

Wjuniski, holding {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} was trailing Gatmaitan, who was all-in for his tournament life with {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

The flop came down {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The turn brought the {j-Hearts} giving Wjuniski a straight draw, but he didn't get there when the {6-Spades} hit the river.

Gatmaitan now sits at around 630,000 while Wjuniski dropped to 325,000.
