Level 40 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Luke Varrasso shoved for around 30,000,000 and Hector Berry called.

Luke Varrasso: 10♦9♠ All in
Hector Berry: A♠9♦

Varrasso shrugged when he saw he was dominated, and there was an ace on the flop of A♣8♠4♦ for Berry. The turn 7♣ had Varrasso muttering the outs that would save him — a six or a jack — but the river 2♠ bricked and he was eliminated in second place.
