It went all downhill for Alex Ivan after winning a big pot earlier and his demise would come at the hand of Steve Diamantas when Ivan shoved with A-4 only to run into Steve and pocket Aces. Ivan finishes in what surely is a disappointing 14th place.

At the other table, Ryan Sponaugle found a double up courtesy of Robert Quintana in a blind vs blind confrontations that went well for Ryan and his Ace high.

The river was the and Tuthill is up to close to 400K after the hand while Ivan dips below 200K… a far cry from where he was after picking up Aces earlier against Jack McIntyre.
