Vongxaiburana Stuns Costa on the River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Christopher Costa was in the cutoff and got his last 350,000 in the middle on a flop of 6♣2♦6♠ as Veerachai Vongxaiburana put him at risk under the gun.
Christopher Costa: A♠A♦7♦5♦3♦
Veerachai Vongxaiburana: A♥Q♦4♠3♠2♥
Costa was ahead with his aces as he stood up and began filming the action with his phone. The turn was the K♣, but the 2♣ river gave Vongxaiburana trips to send Costa to the rail.
"Are you kidding me? I couldn't ask for a better flop," Costa said.
"You did all you can do. You can't control the cards," tablemate Shawn Rice said, getting up to console Costa before Costa headed off to the payout desk.
The remaining 24 players are drawing for seats at the last three tables.
