With around 20,000 in the middle and a board reading {j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}, John Strzemp, the man who finished runner-up to Stu Ungar in the 1997 WSOP Main Event (remember that one was played outside on Fremont Street in the Vegas heat), got his stack of 34,700 all in and at risk against Chun-Wai Lo.

Chun-Wai Lo: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
John Strzemp: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Strzemp had flopped top pair but was behind the overpair of Lo. The {9-Diamonds} river was of no consequence and Strzemp headed to the rail.
