Novo Fades the River to Double
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action was on Julio Novo, who moved all in for 77,000. Ruoxiao Shi called, and everyone else got out of the way.
Julio Novo: 8♠8♦ 
Ruoxiao Shi: A♣Q♣
The flop J♥5♠3♣ was good news for Novo, and although the 8♣ turn looked good, it also increased the number of his opponents' outs.
Novo managed to fade a club river, though, when the dealer revealed the 3♦.
The all-in stack was counted, and the full double-up was pushed in Novo's direction.
