Thomas Boivin jammed the button and Dario Sammartino called from the big blind for his stack of 148,000.

Dario Sammartino: A♦7♥ All in
Thomas Boivin: K♠4♠

Sammartino had the chance to even out the match if he could fade a king or four on the runout.

Sammartino paired his seven on the 7♦J♥2♠ flop, but Boivin spiked the K♥ on the turn to have Sammartino with one foot out the door.

The dealer burned a card and put out the Q♦ to complete the board, and Sammartino was eliminated from the event.
