With the final board showing on the river, Armando Figueroa bets 7,000 under the gun, and bestbet bounty Brian Hastings (pictured) moves all in from the button for about 22,000.
Figueroa thinks for a bit before re-checking his cards, and then he calls with the nuts — for an eight-high straight. Hastings turns over for a six-high straight as he is eliminated from the tournament.
Armando Figueroa – 88,000 (110 bb)
Brian Hastings – Eliminated
After the hand, Figueroa tells the table that he misread his hand, thinking he had eight-six (pair of sixes) instead of eight-seven (an eight-high straight), which is why he didn’t call the all in right away.
