Guillen Gets By

During that lengthy first hand back from the break, Angel Guillen and Jude Ainsworth were engaged in a standoff of sorts that lasted well after all of the other tables had completed their hands.
The board read 
and there was close to 20,000 in the middle. Guillen had checked, and Ainsworth pushed all in. Guillen, with but 30,400 left behind, tanked for several minutes.
Noticing the tournament director standing nearby, Guillen asked "Is everyone waiting for me?" "This is the the last table, yes," came the reply. Another minute passed before finally Guillen folded. Ainsworth flipped over his hand -- 
for a straight -- and Guillen tapped the table.
Then came the announcement of Antony Ruberto's early bustout from across the room -- they were in the money! -- of which Guillen had been unaware when he was tanking. The man from Mexico broke into a wide, relieved-looking grin.
Guillen still has that stack of just over 30,000, while Ainsworth now sits with 82,000.
