Level 20: 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 72 of 1,841

Level 20 was mostly unkind to Zo Karim. He was up around 600,000 to begin the level, but that count was more than cut in half over the span of a couple orbits. Karim regained his losses right at the tail end of the level, though.

The player in the cutoff opened with a raise, and Karim got himself all in for 298,000 in the small blind. His opponent had him slightly covered, so Karim was at risk as the cards were turned up.
