Level 24:  15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 ante

Michael Tarafa raised to 75,000 in middle position and Rafael Lima (after having recently surrendered a double to David Inselberg) called in the hijack.

The flop was KdTh6c, Tarafa checked, Lima bet 70,000, and Tarafa called.

The turn was the Jc, Tarafa checked, Lima bet about 450,000, and Tarafa thought for a bit before he called all in for about that amount.

Tarafa:  KcQd
Lima:  KsTs

Lima had kings and tens, while Tarafa had kings with an open-ended straight draw.

The river was the Tc, further improving Lima to tens full of kings to eliminate Tarafa in ninth place.
