Level 22:  10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 ante
Players Remaining:  128 of 1,024

Following a flop of AsJs8h with roughly 110,000 in the pot, the player in the big blind was all in for 75,000 with Jc8c for jacks and eights against Jeff Levine in early position holding AhJh for aces and jacks.

The 5d turn and 2h river completed the board, no help to the big blind, locking up the pot for Levine and sending the remaining field into the money.

Jeff Levine  –  625,000  (31 bb)

With 128 players remaining from the field of 1,024 entries, the average stack is 320,000 (16 bb). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $500.
