Guillermo Sanchez Otero had opened from middle position and Alex Keating had defended his big blind when they looked down at a flop of 8♣9♦K♦.
Keating then checked to Sanchez Otero, who bet 450,000. Keating jammed all in for 4,375,000 chips, shouting "my big blind is my life!" through the room.
Sanchez Otero used some time before flicking in a call to put Keating at risk.
Alex Keating: K♠8♦
Guillermo Sanchez Otero: K♥10♦
"Sorry, man," Sanchez Otero said to Keating, even though he was behind Keating's flopped two pair.
"Do you think so?" Keating asked as the J♣ arrived on the turn, giving Sanchez Otero a straight draw, with the latter nodding his head in response.
The 7♦ river saw Sanchez Otero make a straight to the jack, eliminating Keating in 55th place.
"Sorry, man," Sanchez Otero stated again as Keating left the tournament area to collect his payout.
