Tasyurek's Snowmen Melt Away Semaska & Camarda
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Salvatore Camarda shoved from under the gun for 70,000 and Halil Tasyurek called from the next seat. Vytautas Semaska was in the hijack and shoved for 182,000, and once the action got back to Tasyurek, he called.
Salvatore Camarda: A?K? 
Vytautas Semaska: J?J?
Halil Tasyurek: 8?8?
Camarda had the shortest stack and needed to beat both of his opponents in order to survive & triple up. Semaska was a big favorite to at least scoop the side pot, but that all changed when the dealer put out a flop of 4?5?8?, which gave Tasyurek top set. The A? on the turn meant Camarda was drawing dead, and the 9? river also meant Semaska was eliminated.
