"February $50,000 II" (Day 2): Genachte Goes From Potential Bubble...To Bursting The Bubble

"February $50,000 II"
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 20 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 552
Players Remaining: 49

Just twenty-five minutes after scoring a very lucky double, Daniel Genacthe (Deerfield Beach, FL) sent the field into the money.  Denian Costa (Miami, FL) got involved in a pot with Joshua Wasserman just two hands ago, which left him with only 25,000 chips left.  Just as play was about to go hand-for-hand, Costa shoved from early position, and would be called by Daniel Genachte: 

Genachte: K♠ K
Costa: 10♠ 9♠

Runout: A♠ Q Q♣ 8♠ 4

Costa didn't flop well at all, but stayed alive after turning a flush draw, which he would miss on the river.  With Costa's elimination, the field was able to surpass hand-for-hand play, and those still remaining are all in the money.  The left are now guaranteed at least $345, but all have their eyes on the first place prize of $15,089.
