With the action folding round to John-Paul Kelly in the small blind, he min-raised to 32,000 with Aaron Virchis making the call.

Kelly casually tossed out two green 25,000-denomination chips to effectively put Virchis all in on the flop of {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Virchis looked at his now 43,000-chip stack and decided to make the call for his tournament life.

Virchis: {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Kelly: {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Needing to hit a King or Eight to stay alive, the turn and river of the {J-Clubs} and {A-Hearts} would see Virchis hit the rail in 5th place for a payday of $40,048.
