Chris O'Rourke opened the action for a raise from under the gun and it was folded to Jeff Madsen in the small blind who moved all in. Leonardo Palermo in the big blind announced that he was also all in and when the action got back to O'Rourke he quickly said "call, call, call" as he turned over {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. It was a cooler of a hand for the other two as Madsen had {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Palermo {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Palermo is eliminated in 20th place while Madsen was crippled.

"Is this real," said O'Rourke after the hand. "That was like fantasy land."
