Level 26:  50,000/75,000 with a 75,000 ante
Players Remaining:  32 of 2,010

Frank Jacoub moved all in UTG+1 for 450,000, and Dave Moore moved all in over the top from the small blind for 2,400,000 with AhQc.

Jacoub turned over Ad4c, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 6h5c2h10s10h, and Jacoub flopped a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Moore won the pot with his queen kicker to eliminate Jacoub in 33rd place.
