Level 30
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
First in from the small blind, Jesse Okonczak shoved his ~630,000 chips into the middle. That's never fun when the big stack is the only player left to act, and John Riordan made the call with a chance at the knockout. He'd soon find out that he had the at-risk player crushed.
Showdown
Okonczak: 
Riordan: 
The 
flop at least gave Okonczak a sweat as he picked up the gutterball to try and chase down a wheel. The turn 
was a blank, however, and so was the 
river. The queen-three falls, and so does Jesse Okonczak, eliminated in 8th place. He'll be rewarded with a consolation prize of nearly $25,000.
