Myles Phago

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Julian Velador raised the pot to 21,000 from late position, and Kenneth Po called from the big blind. Both players checked the Q♦J♦J♥ flop and saw the 5♣ come on the turn.

Po check-raised Velador's 20,000 bet, putting himself all in for 65,000. Velador snap called.

Kenneth Po: K♥Q♥J♠10♣ All in
Julian Velador: Q♣Q♠8♥2♦

Po was drawing to the case jack to stay alive. No such luck when the river bricked out on the 7♣ and Po was sent to the rails after a sick cooler.
