Alejandro Lococo pushed his last 85,000 in the middle from under the gun and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way.

Alejandro Lococo: A5
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: AK

"That's not good," Lococo said as the K fell in the window, followed by the 6J. Lococo was already drawing dead after the 8 turn and began going around the table giving his tablemates a fist bump before the 8 river sealed the elimination of "Papo MC."
