Nogueira Makes a Painful Exit
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Andres Vasquez opened to 50,000 on the button and got an all-in shove for around 200,000 from Rui Nogueira in the smalll blind. When action returned to him, Vasquez called.
Rui Nogueira: A♣9♣ 
Andres Vasquez: K♦K♥
Nogueira looked cheerful when the flop came 8♣A♠10♦ giving him two pair on the flop and beating Vaquez's kings. He was looking for an almost assured double up when the 10♥ dropped on the turn improving his hand to a full house.
But the river K♣ fell on the river, shifting the lead to Vasquez with the better full house. With hopes and dreams dashed, Noqueira left the tournament.
