Justas Vaiciulionis raised to 260,000 and action folded around to Connor Drinan who was in the big blind.

"Are you committed?" Drinan asked. "I feel like you looked at my stack and thought: What raise can I commit to?"

Vaiciulionis shook his head. Eventually, Drinan moved all in and Vaiciulionis quickly called.

Drinan: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Vaiciulionis: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

"Did you see how quick everyone else folded?" Drinan asked Vaiciulionis. "That means they didn't have any aces or kings to three-bet your ass. That means I'm like a 70/30."

Unfortunately for Drinan, the flop of {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} left him drawing very thin. He needed a jack, three, two, or queen just to stay alive on the turn. But the turn was the {9-Diamonds} and that left him drawing dead. The river was the meaningless {Q-Hearts} and that meant Drinan was eliminated from the tournament in 56th place while Vaiciulionis moved over 4 million chips.
