A player in early position raised to 120,000, Mark Casabo called in the hijack, and Eric Siegel reraised all in for 1,310,000 in the big blind. The initial raiser folded, and Casabo thought for a bit before he called all in for 1,265,000 with ThTc, leading Siegel’s Ad6d.

The board ran out Qc9h4hQd9s, safe for Casabo to double through Siegel.

Down to 45,000, Siegel busted shortly thereafter in 35th place.
