Joshua Manuge opened to 30,000 from the small blind and Nektarios Papadedes moved all in for just over 160,000 from the big blind. Manuge, who was slightly covered, made the call and was at risk.

Nektarios Papadedes: A♠K♠
Manuge was in trouble with a dominated ace and couldn't catch up on the 9♥2♦10♥5♥8♠ runout resulting in his elimination while Papadedes collected nearly a full double up.
