Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

With around 700,000 in the middle, the flop read {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and Valentin Messina checked from early position. Ben Jacobs was in the cutoff and bet 275,000. Messina didn't take much time before announcing he was all in, having Jacobs covered. Jacobs tanked for over three minutes as players started to stand around the table, and he finally bombed a stack of chips into the middle.

Messina tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, while Jacobs was out-kicked with {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

The river brought the {3-Spades}, and Jacobs was eliminated at the hands of Messina.
