Even at 94, The Beats Keep Coming; Vangieson Eliminated
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Masahito Itaura raised enough preflop to put Merle Vangieson, the oldest competitor in the field at 94 years old, at risk. Vangieson quickly made the call and tabled his hand, all in one motion.
Merle Vangieson: K♥K♦ 
Masahito Itaura: A♠K♠
Vangieson was in good shape with his kings until the flop scrolled across 6♠A♦9♣. The 4♠ didn't matter much, as Vangieson had to catch the case king to stay in contention. It wasn't meant to be as the 8♠ completed the board, improving Itaura to a flush.
