Leinenbach Runs Into It; Luske the Beneficiary
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
After an early position raise, James Leinenbach moved all in for 830,000. Action then folded to Marcel Luske, who, after taking stock of his stack, also moved all in for 1,450,000. The original raiser folded, and the cards were turned on their backs.
James Leinenbach: Q♠Q♣ 
Marcel Luske: A♣A♦
A dire situation for Leinenbach, his tournament life at risk and only two immediate outs to save him.
The flop 2♣2♥7♥ offered no help at all, and when the turn 7♠ was dealt, Leinenbach needed the river to save him.
Alas, the river couldn't pull him back from the brink, as the dealer revealed the K♥.
Luske pulled in the huge pot, and Leinenbach said his goodbyes to the table.
