"gnetaren" had exhausted their time bank and was forced to fold when they timed out of the hand, shipping a big pot to Arruda and putting the players even in chips.
"gnetaren" built back a chip lead was dominant for most of the two-hour heads-up battle. Arruda was down to 14 big blinds when he open-shoved with king-six and ran into rockets, marking the end of his tournament life.
