Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Javier Romero had opened from middle position only for David Civai to move all in from the button for just under 100,000. Romero made the call to put Civai at risk.

David Civai: K♠10♦
Javier Romero: Q♥Q♠

Romero was in great shape with pocket-queens and remained ahead on the 6♠3♦2♦ flop. The 5♦ turn did give Civai a flush draw but the 5♥ river was a brick and Civai was sent to the rail three spots shy of making the money while Romero scored yet another knockout.

Evgeniy Bukharkov was also recently eliminated shortly before this hand took place.
