Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Chuc Hoang limped from under the gun. Laurent Rupp in middle position raised to 2,000 and was called by the player to his left and by Henri Benoni in the cutoff. The button raised to 5,200, then the small blind decided to go all-in for 22,600.
Hoang folded, but Rupp called. His neighbor then announced "75,000", making Benoni fold but putting the button in a tough spot. The clock was called and at the end of the countdown, he folded. Rupp immediately called, finding himself at risk for 66,500.
Small blind: A♥J♥ 
Laurent Rupp: K♦K♠
Middle-position player: 10♦10♠
Rupp kept the lead all the way through a board of 2♦J♠5♥5♦6♥ and secured this massive pot while the small blind was eliminated.
