Thirty Is the Magic Number
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marius Kudzmanas open-raised to 12,000 from early position and got three-bet by Jimmy Andres Torres Velasquez in middle position. 30,000 was the amount to call, and Kudzmanas put in the necessary chips to do so.
The flop fell A♦A♠J♠ and both players checked. On the 3♠ turn Velasquez bet another 30,000 after a check from Kudzmanas. The 6♦ river was dealt and now Kudzmanas took the betting lead by adding another 30,000 to the pot.
This sent Velasquez into a tank of several minutes, but eventually he came up with a call. He got shown A♣Q♦ and mucked his cards, surrendering the pot to Kudzmanas who's stack got elevated to over ten times starting.
