Surreal Villareal

John Stansell raised it up preflop to 24,000 before Eddie Villareal moved all in. Stansell made the call.

Villareal: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Stansell: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Villareal makes a miraculous straight just before the break once again to see him jump to 270,000 chips! An unfortunate Stansell was eliminated.
