Ted Jivkov was sitting with 6,400 and opened to 1,400 from the cutoff. Diego Delossantos called the small blind and Albert Shenker defended the big blind.
The 3♥K♠J♥ flop was checked to the K♣ turn. The blinds checked and Jivkov flicked his remaining 5,000 chip into the middle. Delossantos called and Shenker asked "You're all in, right?" as the all-in button wasn't out.
Jivkov showed nothing behind and Shenker folded, but also showed J♠.
Ted Jivkov: A♣7♦
Diego Delossantos: 8♣3♣
Jivkov was behind as Delossantos was sitting with a pair of treys to go with the pair of kings on the board.
No improvement came for Jivkov on the K♦ river, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Action was picked up with two players — Dimas Martinez, on the button and James Walker, in cutoff — all-in waiting for the dealer to peel the board.
Dimas Martinez: Q♥6♥
James Walker: A♠10♥
Walker was ahead and remained so when the flop dropped 9♠8♥7♦. Martinez had hope as his outs increased with an open-ended straight draw.
Although Walker hit the board with a 10♦ turn, the same card completed Martinez's straight, pushing him ahead. The river 8♣ didn't change the lead securing Martinez with a double up.
