Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jack Torcolese raised to 55,000 from the button, and Natan Chaitin three-bet to 220,000 from the big blind. Torcolese responded with a four-bet shove for 1.18 million.

"I don't think I'm good enough to lay this down," Chaitin, who had 1.08 million to start the hand, said. A few moments later, he called.

Natan Chaitin:
Jack Torcolese:

Chaitin's tens wouldn't catch the jacks of Torcolese on a runout, and Chaitin falls one spot shy of the final table.

The final ten are redrawing seats for the final table. Stay tuned for an updated seat draw as well as updated chip counts.
