Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Tom Babiarz was in the big blind and led out for 8,000 on a board reading 
. With about 10,000 in the pot, his opponent on the button jammed his stack in the middle and Babiarz called.

, up against a straight.
Sure enough, the river was the 
and Babiarz filled up to avoid being eliminated.
