Livello 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Capener had just lost some of his chips in a pot versus Nenad Dukic. He folded to Dukic’s river shove, leaving himself with 400,000 to start his final hand.

Action folded to him and he raised to 75,000 from the cutoff. The button and small blind folded. David Coleman in the big blind took a look at Capener’s stack and then put him all in. Capener called.

Michael Capener: A♦A♣ All in
David Coleman: 8♠8♥

The flop was 4♦10♥5♣. Capener still looked good for a double-up. However, the turn was the fatal 8♣ giving Coleman a set and Capener just two outs for surviving.

The river was the J♣ and Capener was sent to the rail.
