Itoafa Knocks Out Pineda
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Pat Pineda was all in for his last 6,000 from the small blind with both Steve Wilkie in the big blind and Mike Itoafa in the cutoff giving him action.
The flop came 
and Wilkie and Itoafa both checked. Itoafa bet 5,000 on the turn 
and Wilkie called. The river came 
and Itoafa shoved for around 30,000. Wilkie quickly folded, lifting up his cards to show Itoafa in the process.
Itoafa tabled 
. During the side-pot action, Pineda had already stood up, expecting to have less than the best hand. He mentioned as Itoafa was making his river shove that all he had was ace-high. Upon Itoafa tabling his hand, Pineda picked up his cards and slammed them into the muck without being tabled, proceeding to make his way out of the tournament area afterward.
