Mike Vela

In one of the last hands before the dinner break a preflop raising war broke out between Mike Vela and Bryan Leskowitz. The end result was Leskowitz five bet shoving all in for 219,500 and Vela making the call. 

Vela: K♦️K♠️
Leskowitz: A♠️A♥️

They see a flop of 10♦️6♥️4♥️ and Leskowitz maintains the lead with his aces. The turn 6♠️ is no help to Vela and he will need a king on the river to stay alive. 

The K♥️ hits the river and Vela does indeed spike his two outer to send Leskowitz to the rail in brutal fashion. Leskowitz is eliminated in 26th place just two spots away from the money and Vela chips up to 503,000 thanks to the lucky river.
