Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Sam Laskowitz was all in for 109,000 as big blind Bill Klein had him covered and at risk.

Sam Laskowitz: 10?10?
Bill Klein: A?K?

"I lost the last flip like this. I'm due to win this one," Klein said as he stood up from his seat to await the board. The dealer turned over 7?5?7?6?J? and Laskowitz's tens stayed in front to secure him the double up.

"Running bad at life," tablemate Shaun Deeb said as Klein was left with around 55,000. "Twenty big blinds is plenty. I wish every tournament had a 20 big blind cap. It would be a better game."

Laskowitz was runner-up in the Colossus event at last year's WSOP. "This is my second WSOP event. That was my first," he said.
