Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Heads Up Harpreet Gill and Kenneth Smaron
Heads Up Harpreet Gill and Kenneth Smaron

Hand #170: In the 9th hand of heads up play, Harpreet Gill limped in with {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Kenneth Smaron wasn't settling for that and bumped it up to 350,000 with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Without much hesitation, Gill moved in for 2,615,000. Smaron asked for a count and contemplated what to do for a bit before he decided to go for it and call.

The pot was 5,250,000 and Smaron was the slight favorite but Gill was very much live. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, giving Smaron a royal flush draw while Gill picked up a gutshot but lost the tens as outs.

The {9-Diamonds} on the river was inconsequential and so was the {5-Spades} on the river. and just like that, after just 20 minutes or so of heads up play, a champion was crowned. Harpreet Gill had to settle for second place, banking $217,860.
