In the last hand of Level 32, Eli Elezra raises from the hijack to 325,000, Jim Gilbert moves all in from the big blind for 2,450,000, and Elezra tanks for about a minute and a half before he calls with Heart 9Diamond 9.

Gilbert turns over Diamond 10Club 10, and he needs it to hold to stay alive.

The board comes Spade 10Spade 8Heart 6Club 3Diamond 6 — Elezra flops a gutshot straight draw, but Gilbert remains ahead the entire way and rivers a full house, tens full of sixes, to double up in chips.

Jim Gilbert  –  5,125,000  (34 bb)
Eli Elezra  –  4,575,000  (31 bb)
