Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

We came upon the action on the river with Pat Steele getting pushed a massive pot. The dealer was counting out Steele's stack of 133,500 that had to be matched by Jason "Clozer" Kapor.

Steele's hand was in front of him, {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} on a board of {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} while Kapor mucked his hand. The dealer stated the hand needed to be shown, but was only able to properly identify the {5-Spades}.

With an existing pot before the river of about 80,000, Steele catapulted into one of the chip leaders in the tournament with 350,000.
