Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

The pace of play has slowed to the extent that the tournament floor ruled that table #1 needed to play a few extra hands while table #2 waited.

While the other table sat idle, Atanas Malinov opened to 300,000 on the button and Elie Saad called in the big blind.

The flop came 10♦10♥9♦ and Malinov continued for 225,000. Saad called.

The turn was the K♣ and Malinov bet 1,050,000. Saad took his time before folding.

The next hand, Saad limped in, Gabi Livshitz raised to 450,000 in the big blind, and Saad called.

Livshitz bet 250,000 on the 3♦6♠2♣ flop and Saad called. Both players then checked down the 7♦ turn and 10♣ river.

Saad showed K♠Q♠, but Livshitz had A♣K♣ to win the pot.
