On the fourth round of hand-for-hand, Jon Van Fleet opens to 30,000, Markus Gonsalves three-bets to 125,000, Van Fleet moves all in and Gonsalves calls to put himself at risk on the money bubble.

Gonsalves needs to hold to stay alive, and he is safe on the flop of Diamond 10Heart 7Heart 8, but the turn Diamond 6 brings in the flush draw for Van Fleet. 

Any ace, king, or diamond on the river would end Gonsalves’ tournament, but luckily for him, it is the brick Spade 4 and he stays alive. 

Markus Gonsalves – 1,350,000 (90 bb)
Jon Van Fleet – 1,575,000 (105 bb)
