A player moved all in from early position for 40,000, Jermaine “Lion” Gerlin moved all in over the top from the cutoff for 149,500, and the player in the big blind tanked for a while before he folded.

The short stack turned over AdKc, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Gerlin’s 10s10c.

The board came Qd10d10h7hKs — Gerlin nearly clinched it on the flop with quad tens, and his opponent didn’t catch the miracle runner-runner straight-flush. Gerlin won the pot to eliminate his opponent from the tournament.

Jermaine Gerlin  –  197,000  (66 bb)

With 96 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 116,000 (39 big blinds). The final 70 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $1,770 each.
