Photo: Russell Crane stares down Ryan Paluf (foreground, right) after Paluf reraised preflop.
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)
