We found Fausto Valdez and Jonathan Guez all in before the flop. Guez had opened to 2,000 before Fausto three-bet to 6,000. The Frenchman quickly announced all-in for more than 40,000 and Valdez snap called.

The board came and Jonathan Guez was eliminated.

At the same time, Valdez was playing on his phone, on WSOP.com, and won a big pot win six-high : "One bracelet tomorrow, one bracelet online tonight, I'm gonna win them all!", he said with a big smile.
