What a Brutal Turn for Vallejos
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Stephen Austin opened shoved for roughly 500,000, James Vallejos called on his direct left for 480,000 and all other players fold.
Stephen Austin: K♦10♦ 
James Vallejos: K♠K♥
The flop came 10♥8♥Q♦, and Vallejos only needed to fade three outs, but the 10♠ sent him out of his chair, and the Q♥ on the river delivered a brutal knockout blow, ending his tournament run.
