Chiovaro Exits
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Stephen Chiovaro could not recover from the hand that crippled his stack earlier.
Forced by the blind to go all in, he went head up against Kevin Huang and barely survived.
Stephen Chiovaro: K♠10♣
Kevin Huang: K♣Q♠
The flop ran J♦10♥9♥9♠Q♥, giving both players a king-high straight, meaning they chopped the ante. Chiovaro put his final 20,000 chips all in the next hand from the small blind, that time against Mehrdad Vahabi.
Stephen Chiovaro: 7♥6♥
Mehrdad Vahabi: A♣K♦
The runout didn't save Chiovaro, as 9♣3♥J♣K♥3♣ gave Vahabi a pair of kings and the knockout.
