Perhaps it was the visit of the departing Daniel Negreanu which spurred Kenneth Cleeton on, but he just {a-}{q-} against the {10-}{10-} of his opponent thanks to a {q-} on the river.

And who was the happiest person in the room? His father, who let out a yelp of celebration which could be heard from several tables over.

A look of relief swept across Cleeton's face as he wheeled around in celebration. He now sits on a much healthier stack of just over 75,000 with under an hour left before the end of the day.
