Level 10: 2,000/4,000 (4,000)

Daniel Toffel jammed for 10 big blinds from the small blind. Mark Adams tanked for a short while before he opted to call from the big blind for more than half his stack.

Daniel Toffel: Q♠7♣
Mark Adams: K♠7♠

Both players bricked the 6♦9♦J♣J♦5♥ runout. Adams’s king did the job and Toffel will need to re-enter if he wants a chance at finding a bag on Day 1b.
