Level 40
: 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Timothy Thorp jammed for 38,000,000 from the hijack and was called by Roland Israelashvili in the big blind who only had 31,000,000.
Roland Israelashvili: A♥K♥ 
Timothy Thorp: 4♠4♦
Thorp was on his way to eliminate Israelashvili after hitting a set on 3♣2♦9♠4♥, but Israelashvili was lucky enough to hit a straight with the 5♠ river to double up.
Moments later, Thorp moved all-in for 5,000,000 with J♣4♠ from the big blind against Joseph Butler in early position with Q♦5♦ but they split the pot on 9♣K♣2♠9♥2♥.
