Konstantinos Tsirakidis opened to 2,700, and only Jennifer Harman called to see a heads-up flop. It came , and Tsirakidis continued out with another 3,200. Harman raised to put him all in, and Tsirakidis spent a long while in the tank. Some table chatter broke out between him and his neighbors, and we were distracted for a moment by another hand at the adjacent table while he considered the decision for the ~18,000 he had left.
When we looked back, Tsirakidis had folded, and someone (we think Harman) had showed ace-jack.

The board ran out , and that's pretty lucky for Leonardi. He's tripled back into contention, and Limongi's jacks allow him to double for 38,400, too. It's Paur on the sour end of both shoves, and it looks like he's been reduced to about 120,000 now.
