Egide Rivers the Nuts; Promises to Take it Down
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Michael Culyer was all-in with a short stack of 34,000 on the 8♣7♥4♦ and Loren Egide also got it in for a lot more, both of which were looked up by Stefan Lehner. Egide called over the PokerNews live reporting team and promised he would take down the tournament if he were to win this hand.
Michael Culyer: A♠9♥8♠6♦ 
Loren Egide: 10♥10♦9♦9♠
Stefan Lehner: A♦10♠6♥5♦
Lehner had flopped the nut straight but would not hold up on the 5♥ turn and J♥ runout, as Egide improved to the jack-high straight. He then asked for a fine bottle of wine, but there was no waiter in the almost empty Horseshoe Event Center past 1 a.m. local time.
