Action was on Mike Itoafa in the hijack facing a reraise all in from Alex Rocha who was under the gun. The board read {6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Rocha had a bet of 5,500 in front of him. Evan Shaughnessy had called the bet from Rocha's left and Itoafa raised to 38,500. Rocha in turn shoved, prompting a fold from Shaughnessy.

Eventually, Itoafa decided to call.

Alex Rocha: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Mike Itoafa: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Itoafa had made the call with top pair and found himself in position to double Rocha up after he had flopped a set. The turn and river came {q-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Rocha secured the double to stay alive as hand-for-hand continues.
