Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Joe Cada
Joe Cada

Players were already heads-up and on the river looking at a 9AQJ7 board. The pot stood at 40,000, and Joe Cada was in the small blind and moved all in for his remaining 30,000.

Action was on Cedric Kolstad in the cutoff to make the call for his tournament life as he was covered by Cada, sitting with just 26,200 behind. Kolstad tank-called, and the players showed their hands.

Cedric Kolstad: AKAll in
Joe Cada: 99

Kolstad had flopped top pair but Cada was looking at the set of nines. After the hand Kolstad stood from the table and said to his neighbor "Ahh I should have folded...".
