Aaron Katz Eliminated in 19th Place ($103,093)
Niveau 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Following a raise by Tyler Smith and a call by Aaron Katz, both players invested 300,000 on the Q♥7♦3♥ flop with Smith leading and Katz calling. Smith then bet the 6♦ turn for 800,000 and Katz announced all-in. Before the exact count was done, Smith made the call and the biggest pot of the tournament so far unfolded.
Aaron Katz: K♥K♦Q♦6♣
Tyler Smith: A♥Q♣J♥5♣
Katz was ahead with two pair and a diamond flush draw while Smith had top pair with one live overcard and the nut heart flush draw. When the 8♥ came on the river, Katz started counting his stack for a double before he realised the horror. By winning that large pot, Smith further increased his lead while Katz was ousted in 19th place.
