Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Tamer Kamel is the tournament's short stack after losing a massive pot to Ryan Austin as the players headed out of the Amazon Room for a scheduled break.

Joining the action on a {3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} flop, Austin led for 16,500 in late position and was facing a raise to 38,500 from Kamel on the button. Austin called and the dealer placed the {5-Hearts} onto the turn. Austin initially checked, but when Kamel made it 70,000 Austin check-raised all in. Kamel called and the cards were revealed.

"Do you have jacks?" asked Austin. Kamel didn't have jacks, he held {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Austin showed the dominating {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Kamel looked extremely disappointed.

The {4-Spades} was the river card, completing the board and crippling Kamel.
