Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
John Blomberg raised to a sizable 50,000 under the gun, prompting a three-bet to 120,000 by Julia Kuusijarvi in the cutoff. Mounir Tajiou then jammed in 600,000 from the small blind, and Blomberg called after a lengthy tank before Kuusijarvi folded.
Mounir Tajiou: A♥K♦ 
John Blomberg: 10♠10♣
The 6♣8♦7♦Q♥4♥ runout improved neither player, meaning Blomberg's tens held to scoop the monster pot. Tajiou, who was poised to make Day 3 with an above-average stack, instead headed to the rail in the final stretch of Day 2.
