Miami John Cernuto is all in preflop from the big blind with [AhJh], but he is not pleased when he see Fred Goldberg turn over [AcAd] in the small blind.
Will Failla comes over from the other table when he hears the dealer say, "All in and a call." When Failla sees that Goldberg has pocket aces, he says, "Run better, Fred."
The board comes [Qs9d6s9s10c], and the pocket aces hold up for Goldberg to win the pot. There is a round of applause from the audience as Miami John Cernuto is eliminated in 14th place.
Fred Goldberg – 8,350,000 (139 BBs)
Miami John Cernuto – Out in 14th Place ($35,640)
