Desperate to Double
The last tournament less than $1,000, emotions were high as players were desperately trying to run deep or go home. Such was the case at three tables.
Romica Mihailov shoved all-in for 36,500 and then convinced Andrade to call, as Andrade needed to add just a small amount. Andrade made the call taking them to showdown.
Romica Mihailov: A♣10♥ 
Jose Andrade: K♦J♦
The board ran 6♣7♣10♦6♦2♣. Hitting his ten on the board, Mihailov doubled up and said that all he needed to do was doulbe up one more time and he'd be okay.
On the other table, Conor Hannan was in the tank on a pot of around 200,000 and a board of J♦4♦4♠J♣ and Toshio Nanao all-in for 72,000. Seemingly tired, he went, "Whatever!" then made the call.
Toshio Nanao: J♥5♥
Conor Hannan: K♣K♠
Nanao had trips on the turn and the river 7♦ didn't change anything. Nanao scooped the pot as Hannan sat steaming.
The third table went on quietly with Christopher Brammer and Owen Goodrich going toe to toe.
Owen Goodrich: 10♣10♥
Christopher Brammer: Q♣J♣
The flop came 2♠2♦8♦K♦10♠ giving Goodrich the win.
