Action folded to the blinds and Con Tsapkounis opened to 200,000 from the small blind. Michel Bouskila called from the big blind and they took a {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Con Tsapkounis moved all in for 745,000 and Bouskila made the call.

Tsapkounis: {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Bouskila: {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Both players were on draws with Bouskilla holding the advantage when the money went in.

The {k-Hearts} turn missed both players, but the {4-Spades} spiked the river to save Tsapkounis' tournament life.

Con Tsapkounis moves up to 1,900,000 chips; Michael Bouskila drops to just 175,000.
