A player was all in for about 50,000 with AsJd, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the KsKc of Cleiton Barbosa.

The board came 10s3s2d4d10c — the short stack turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. The pocket kings held up for Barbosa to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from Flight C.
