The action was joined as Cary Katz moved all in for 162,000, which was roughly the size of the pot, on a 3♦7♣8♠ flop. Stian Usterud gave it some thought before making the call.

Cary Katz: J♦J♣10♦10♣ All in
Stian Usterud: A♥K♠K♥2♣

The 10♠ turn saw Katz jump into the lead with top set, but the K♣ river improved Usterud to a better set, sending Katz to the rail. It was only a temporary trip to the sidelines for Katz, though, as he immediately bought back into the tournament.
