Level 21
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
[Removed:155] picked up in the cutoff and raised to 55,000. Morra got dealt on the button and called.
Daniel Jacobsen also got 
dealt and went all in for 527,000 from the big blind. Brand shoved all in as well and Morra folded.
With one queen gone, Jacobsen needed one of the remaining ones if he was to survive. The 
flop provided some chop outs for the Dane, but the on the turn was even better for him to make Brand the one drawing slim.
The river was the 
and the start-of-the-day chipleader got dealt another big blow.
