There was already 45,000 in the middle when we arrived at Table 292, and Shane Schleger moved all in from the big blind. Daniel Hirleman called on the button, and the hands were opened.

Schleger: {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Hirleman: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The board ran out with a straight {j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, but Hirleman's king gave him the superior hand, eliminating Schleger from the tournament.
