Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Brian Jennings three-bet all in with 43,000 chips from the small blind. Ivan Kuziv called the raise with his own all-in from under the gun.
Brian Jennings: A♣K♠
Ivan Kuziv: Q♠Q♦
Jennings lamented his ace-king combination as "the hand that's knocked me out of tournaments all summer. Here it is again."
Another chapter was added to the tale, as the runout of 7♥J♥5♦2♠J♠ sent him home with Kuziv's queens holding up.
Vera Dong, who pondered a call from the button, groaned when, according to her, she realized her hand that contained a jack would have knocked bother players out.

On a table of short stacks, Srikanth Yadlapati was trying to break the mold, as he got all in preflop and dominated his opponent, Carlos Matoserarte, who was holding one of the few larger stacks.
Srikanth Yadlapati: Q♣J♠
Carlos Matoserarte: Q♠9♠
The 8♠8♣8♥ flop brought in plenty of chop outs for Matoserarte, with the 8♦ turn improbably giving quads to both players. The 7♦ river was always going to be inconsequential, as the two chopped up the blinds.

John Gorsuch re-raised to 21,000 from the big blind and Lee moved all in, covering Gorsuch's stack.
Gorsuch checked his hand, and took some time before making the fold, handing around 1/3 of his stack over to Lee without seeing any board.
