Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Samuel Kalifa was all in for 27,000 from early position and was called by Angelos Pettas in middle position before Jordan Santos shoved for around 40,000. Pettas called to put both opponents at risk.

Samuel Kalifa: J♦J♠
Jordan Santos: A♥A♠
Angelos Pettas: A♣10♣

Santos had woken up with aces and was poised to scoop the pot until the J♣7♥6♦ flop gave Kalifa a set. The turn, though, brought the A♦ and Santos hit the last ace in the deck to move back in front.

The river came the 7♠ and both Kalifa and Santos took out their phones and snapped photos of the board before Kalifa made his exit.
