Hand 149 – Aaron Kanter has the button in seat 6, Black raises to $600,000, Dannenmann reraises to $2,000,000, and Black moves all in. Dannenmann immediately calls. Black shows pocket tens (10 :heart: -10 DIAMON♦), while Dannenmann has A:spade: -KDIAMON♦ . It’s another race situation.

The flop comes 8 :heart: -3:spade: -2 :club: , and Black is still in the lead with his pair of tens. Dannenmann needs a king, an ace, or a runner-runner straight to stay alive.

The turn card is the K :club: , and Dannenmann takes the lead with a pair of kings. Now Black needs to catch a ten on the river (2 outs) to stay alive.

The river card is the 9 :club: , teasing the crowd by looking similar to the black ten that Black needed to survive.

Andrew Black is eliminated in fifth place, earning $1,750,000, and he receives a standing ovation from the entire crowd.
