John Avelino

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was picked up before the flop, with Ilkka Heikkila at risk with his last 345,000 in the middle from the big blind position. Alan Goasdoue called from the button and the players tabled their cards.

Ilkka Heikkila: A♥J♦ All in
Alan Goasdoue: 5♦5♣

A queen high flop of Q♦4♥2♥ saw Goasdoue's fives holding strong.

The turn brought a 7♣ leaving Heikkila drawing to an ace or a jack to survive with his tournament life.

As the 6♥ hit the river, Heikkila bid farewell to his tablemates and made his way to the payout desk.

Huge River for Kuo

Jacob Wilson

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alex Keating opened the action from the cutoff, making it 35,000 to go. Button player Che Kuo then jammed for his 235,000, giving Davide Suriano quite the decision from the small. He elected to shove also, his stack being 405,000. Keating got a count, then after some deliberation, made the call with a covering stack

Che Kuo: 6♥6♣ All in
Davide Suriano: A♣Q♠ All in
Alex Keating: 10♠10♥

The board seemed relatively inconspicuous, as it seemed like Keating was going to secure a double elimination on the K♥2♣3♣2♥, but Kuo saw a miracle 6♦ on the river, to triple up and become the table's chip leader. Keating absorbed the remainder of Suriano's stack.

Che Kuo	735,000 275,000	275,000
Alex Keating	620,000 373,000	373,000
