Some Nasty Runouts Coming

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jay Dragland limped from middle position only for Wataru Kosugi to bet pot to 14,000 from late position. Oliver Tot called from the big blind only for Dragland to then re-pot to 58,000, leaving himself just 10,000 behind. Kosugi folded, and Tot called.

The flop came 887. Tot checked, and Dragland went all in. Tot called.

Jay Dragland: AA105All in
Oliver Tot: 9763

The turn brought the 10 and gave Tot a straight, which left Dragland drawing dead. The K fell on the river, and Dragland was sent to the rail.
