Kiriakus In It to Win It
Jack Kiriakus raised to 16,000 in middle position before Valeriano Toledano moved all in for 140,000 in the hijack. Kiriakus stood up from his seat and leaned over the table as he considered the decision. "If you don't get in, you can't win," he said as he eventually called.
Valeriano Toledano: 4?4? 
Jack Kiriakus: A?Q?
"This guy came to win a tournament. No min-cashing for him," tablemate Alexander Seibt said about Kiriakus when the cards were revealed. Toledano remained in the lead through the turn on a board of 7?5?7?J?, but Kiriakus spiked the A? on the river to win the pot and send Toledano to the rail.
"You're stealing the show. You have no idea how good this is for poker. If you had your own YouTube show," Seibt told him.
"You'll probably be the thumbnail tomorrow," another tablemate added.
