Level 19: 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 14 of 202

Alfonso Perez was all in preflop with KcQs and at risk against Elliott Zaydman’s KhJh. A JcJdTc flop improved Zaydman to trips and left Perez calling for an ace. The As fell on the turn giving Perez the lead in the hand with Broadway. The river Td had other ideas, though, as it improved Zaydman to a fullhouse. He earned the pot, grew his chip lead and busted Perez in 15th place.
