The J♥2♦K♣ flop was bet out by Trayner for 225,000 and Vikas mucked.
In the next hand Dean Blatt was sitting with A♣Q♥ under the gun and he flicked in a time bank card before moving all in for his remaining 1,475,000. Dejan Boskovic three-bet to 3,000,000 with J♠J♣ and Sheldon Mayer folded 4♠4♥ from the small blind.
Dean Blatt: A♣Q♥
Dejan Boskovic: J♠J♣
Blatt needed to improve to stay alive, and he instantly picked up on the 9♣Q♦2♣ flop.
He secured the double up after seeing the 5♦ turn and 8♠ river and sat back with just over 25 big blinds.
