Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Joao Vieira made it 140,000 to play from the hiijack and was looked up by Ka Kwan Lau in the small blind.

On the 8♦7♣5♦ flop Lau led out for 160,000 only for Vieira to raise all in to 720,000. Lau double checked the count and made the call.

Joao Vieira: K♦K♥Q♦4♥ All in
Ka Kwan Lau: A♦Q♥J♦6♣

Vieira was ahead but needed to dodge outs to stay alive. The 6♠ turn changed nothing but the 4♦ river gave both players their flushes and sent Vieira to the rail his being worse.

Over at another table, Kane Kalas was eliminated at the same time.
