Ortega Leaves Tanouye With Two Big Blinds
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Jeffrey Tanouye shoved from the small blind and Jacques Ortega called from the big blind with a slightly shorter stack of around 17,400,000.
Jacques Ortega: A♠3♦ 
Jeffrey Tanouye: K♦5♠
Ortega had the best of it with his ace, and kept his lead through the 4♦6♦6♣ flop. However, a 5♦ on the turn gave Tanouye a pair, but also gave Ortega flush and straight draws.
A dramatic 7♥ landed on the river, which completed Ortega's straight and earned him a double-up, while leaving Tanouye with just two big blinds.
