Pastore Snaps Off Two
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Pierce McKellar moved all in for 105,000 in the cutoff, John Thornton reshoved for 300,000 in the small blind, and Jonathan Pastore snap-called in the big blind to put both players at risk.
Pierce McKellar: K?9? 
John Thornton: Q?J?
Jonathan Pastore: A?K?
The 7?10?J? flop gave Thornton the lead with a pair of jacks, while the turn was the 5?. The Q? fell on the river and Pastore improved to a straight to send both players to the rail.
At the same time at another table, Robert Zeidman was eliminated when he ran his A?5? into the pocket aces of Halil Tasyurek.
