In the last hand before the break, with the board showing Jd4s2d3c on the turn, Nicholas Verderamo moved all in, and Alon Yehudai tanked for a while in middle position before calling all in for about 220,000 with 5s5h for a pair with an open-ended straight draw.

Verderamo turned over AsJc for a pair of jacks, and Yehudai needed to improve to stay alive.

The river card was the Kd, and Verderamo won the pot with his pair of jacks to eliminate Yehudai in 123rd place.
