Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jack Salter limped in for 30,000 from middle position, and Cary Katz called in the cutoff. From the button, Johannes Becker raised to 120,000.

Action folded back to Salter, and he called. Katz announced he was all in for 982,000, and after a few moments, Becker announced he was all in too. Salter folded.

Katz: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Becker: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

Katz was at a huge disadvantage, but when the dealer spread the {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{J-Spades} flop, he thrust into the overwhelming lead.

Needing to fade an ace, the {2-Hearts} and {Q-Diamonds} on the turn and river would be neither, and he would collect the double to climb into the chip lead with over 2.15 million in chips.
