Kneale Spikes The River
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kristofer Kneale raised all in for 375,000 from early position, and Silvio Costa made the call on the button. Action folded around, leaving the two players heads up, with Kneale at risk.
Kristofer Kneale: A♦4♦ 
Silvio Costa: 9♠9♣
Costa was poised for the elimination with his pocket nines, against the one over card for Kneale. The flop came 5♥3♠K♣ giving Kneale a wheel draw for extra outs in the form of a deuce. The turn was no help as the Q♦ hit the felt, but the A♠ on the river gave Kneale the best hand with his pair of aces.
Costa was left with just 25,000 chips after the hand and was eliminated a few hands later.
