Andrew Knowles

Level 20 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 600 ante

After just losing a flip with ace-king a few hands earlier, Josh "Nitbuster" Arieh was on a short stack and moved all in for 25,266 in the cutoff. Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue reshoved from the small blind and when the big blind folded the cards were on their backs.

Joshua "Nitbuster" Arieh: A♣8♦
Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue: A♥J♥

Arieh was in need of help, but when the board ran out J♠9♦7♦K♣K♠, it was the ace-jack for Maue that held up to send Arieh out on the stone-bubble.

The remaining 60 players are now in the money and locked up a minimum cash of $11,628.
