Level 21
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Justin Bonomo’s chip stack started dwindling as the tournament moved to a single table with the final nine players.
He watched as two players exited, and then made a move on the button by moving all in. Cary Katz, one of the big stacks, called out of the blind and the cards were tabled.
“It’s a race,” Katz said after seeing Bonomo’s hand.
Justin Bonomo: A♣J♦

The dealer ran out 4♥2♦6♠, leaving Katz in the lead. The 3♣ on the turn and K♥ on the river left Katz’s pocket pair in the lead to send Bonomo out in seventh place for $362,279.
