Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Rocco Iati raised in early position to 30,000 and the player in the small blind, Vy Nguyen, placed 100,000 chips into the middle and Iati, with his last 10,000 chips, called and announced, he couldn't "lose now that his good luck charm was here."

Rocco Iati: A♠8♠
Vy Nguyen: 10♥10♠

The flop gave the players a bit of sweat when it came 5♣9♠2♠ but Iati could not hit the flush when the turn came 10♦ and the river 8♦ sent Iati packing and gave Nguyen a small chip boost.
