Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was three ways to the flop of 5♠Q♦3♠, where Mathias Haugen followed a pair of checks with a bet of 450,000. Andrej Desset folded in the big blind before Eduard Barsegyan made the call.

The 3♣ turn saw Barsegyan tap the table again, with Haugen continuing for 500,000. Barsegyan then raised enough to put his opponent all in, sending Haugen into the tank.

After taking some time to reach a decision, Haugen slid his cards to the dealer. Barsegyan nodded his head while revealing the Q♥ for two pair, taking down a nice pot.
