Ufano Goes Runner-Runner to Knock Out Lijo
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Lander Lijo had gotten his stack of 114,000 in the middle from the button against Jorge Ufano in the cutoff.
Lander Lijo: A♠8♥ 
Jorge Ufano: A♥K♥
Lijo looked like he had secured his double-up when he flopped trips on 10♣8♠8♣, although the J♥ turn gave Ufano a gutshot straight draw.
The Q♣ river indeed made Ufano Broadway, sending out his fellow countryman.
"How did I win that?" Ufano asked himself out loud as he stacked up his chips.
