Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Stephen Dillon limped in under the gun without having seen his cards, after which Jakub Juklicek raised to 2,400 as next to act. Kamil Lakomy called in the hijack, and Dillon also called once it had folded back to him.

Juklicek tossed in another 2,400 on the 8♦10♦6♠ flop. Dillon immediately called, but was notified that he had acted out of turn. Dillon apologized as he thought it was heads up, after which Lakomy moved all in for 13,900.

Dillon wanted to rejam but was informed he could only call due to his action out of turn, so he called. Juklicek also called and snap-called Dillon when he shoved in his stack of 33,000 on the Q♠ turn.

Kamil Lakomy: 10♣7♣ All in
Stephen Dillon: Q♦2♦ All in
Jakub Juklicek: J♥9♦

No diamond arrived on the 2♥ river. Juklicek's straight remained the nuts, and he shipped the big pot to knock out both opponents and cross four starting stacks in chips.
