Hurin wanted to play for it all, and shoved for 40,500 total. Nebbout made the call. Cho gave it some thought, but decided against continuing and made the fold and sent Hurin and Nebbout to a showdown with Hurin at risk.
Illia Hurin: K♥K♦
Jonathan Nebbout: A♣J♣

Instead, another ace appeared on the river when the dealer peeled the A♥ to improve Nebbout to trips and eliminate Hurin from contention.
