Daniel Apice was short-stacked and all in from the hijack with Ah4d, and he needs to improve to stay alive against the AcKd of Franko Guevara in the small blind.

The board came Jh2h2s5d8d, and Guevara won the pot with his king kicker to eliminate Apice in 192nd place.

A few minutes later, Guevara scored another knockout when his KhKc held up against another player’s 10x10x on a final board of Jc6c6sKd2c. Guevara won the pot with kings full to eliminate his opponent and catapult over a million in chips.
