Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded to Jeremy "Dutch" Brown in the cutoff, who open-shoved for 580,000. Lorenzo Lavis called from the small blind to put the Minnesotan at risk.

Jeremy "Dutch" Brown: 10♥9♥
Lorenzo Lavis: A♥Q♣

Lavis flopped Brown all but dead on the Q♦3♣3♠ flop. The J♣ on the turn brought a glimmer of hope with a potential backdoor straight opening up.

The dealer slowly revealed the river, only for the A♦ to appear to eliminate Brown near the final level of the day.
