Wiora Sends Player Home Via Counterfeit
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stacks got all in preflop between Ben Wiora, who was in the cutoff, and the big blind, who was all in for his tournament life.
Big Blind: 
Ben Wiora: 
The two were in a coin flip situation as the board ran out 
, leaving the big blind's pair of fives to be nothing more than a five kicker two the queens and eights that were on the board. As such, Wiora's ace proved to be the difference in the hand and earned him both the pot and the knockout, bringing him just shy of a quarter-million in chips nearing the final break of the evening.
