The Rise and Fall of Ueberton De Aquino
Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation Ueberton De Aquino was all in for roughly 600,000 and up against Nikola Marcetic who had a slightly covering stack.
Ueberton De Aquino: K?K? 
Nikola Marcetic: A?K?
Aquino seemed poised to score a massive double up with pocket kings but Marcetic picked up some additional outs on the Q?9?5? flop in the form of a flush draw. The flush came right in on the 4? turn leaving Aquino drawing dead.
Aquino, who just an hour ago held the overall chip lead, was visibly disgusted and already out of his seat by the team the 3? river was dealt while Marcetic dragged in a monster pot.
