Leonardo Rodriguez Torre was all in from the big blind for about 290,000 with Ac2d, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the KsKh of Chris Funari on the button.

The board came Jh9s5h4s2h, and Torre turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Funari won the pot with his pocket kings to eliminate Torre in 187th place.
