Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Juan Baraza made it 120,000 to go in early position. Patrick Leonard wanted to call in middle position, but Jun Lai acted out of turn and shoved all in for 710,000 in the hijack.

Leonard already had the chips in his hand and over the line, and the floor ruled that his call and Lai's all in would stand. Baraza then mucked his cards before Leonard called off.

Jun Lai: K♥Q♥ All in
Patrick Leonard: A♣Q♣

It was looking like Lai's time was up, but he rivered a straight on the 7♠7♦J♣9♠10♦ runout to double up instead.

After the hand, Lai was given a four-hand penalty for acting out of turn. Meanwhile, at another table, Roman Kolotiuk was the latest to depart.

Player	Chips	Progress
Patrick Leonard	2,200,000 -350,000	-350,000
