Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

[Removed:328] opened to 1,250,000 from the button and Barry McGovern called from the big blind.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and McGovern check-called another bet of 2,250,000 from [Removed:329].

The {j-Hearts} completed the board and McGovern checked for a third time. [Removed:329] fired 7,000,000 and McGovern took a minute of reflection then check-raised all in for 11,000,000. [Removed:329] tank-folded.

Arosuo Doubles Through [Removed:329]

Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Matias Arosuo
Matias Arosuo

In a battle of the blinds, Matias Arosuo open-shoved out of the small blind and [Removed:328] called in the big blind.

Matias Arosuo: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
[Removed:328]: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Both players had suited aces and a split pot seemed possible after a {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop. Arosuo made two pair on the {10-Hearts} turn and [Removed:329] now needed a queen to chop, while Arosuo was certain not to bust. The {4-Hearts} appeared on the river and Arosuo got the full double for 7,550,000.

[Removed:329] Gets a Fold from Arosuo

Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

[Removed:328] opened to 1,100,000 under the gun and Matias Arosuo called from the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} that was checked through to the {8-Clubs} turn. Arosuo checked again and [Removed:329] fired 1,100,000. Arosuo gave it some thought but opted to let it go.
