Russell Crane min-raises from the button to 60,000, Ryan Paluf reraises from the big blind to 200,000, and Crane tanks for a while before he moves all in.

Paluf calls all in for a little more than 700,000 with [Ac3s], and Crane turns over [QhJc]. Paluf will need his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes [9c5d3h10cJh], and Crane pairs his jack on the river to win the pot, take the chip lead, and eliminate Paluf from the tournament.

Russell Crane  –  4,200,000  (140 bb)
Ryan Paluf  –  Out in 20th Place  ($14,933)
