Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) watched his entire tournament turn on the fate of a river card, as he five-bet shoved pocket tens, and was called by Andre Rakusa, who was holding Q♥ J♥.  The flop and turn would run out eight-high, but a jack on the river brought a big yell from Andre in celebration.  Palacio was all-in four hands later for just over (13) big blinds, and was eliminated at the hands of Andre.
