When it folded to Aleksander Januskevic in the small blind he shoved for last 200,000 with only Sean Hegarty to get through in the blind. Hegarty peeled back his cards and snap-called.
Aleksander Januskevic: K?4?
Sean Hegarty: K?J?
Hegarty had Januskevic dominated and just had to avoid a four or some hearts to bust him. The J?8?7? flop left Januskevic virtually drawing dead to Hegarty's top pair. The rest of the board ran out 6?8? and Januskevic was out of the Main Event.
