Andrew Knowles

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up when all the chips hit the middle preflop between Arunas Sapitavicius and Pedro Neves, who was at risk for his stack of 407,000.

Pedro Neves: A♠A♥
Arunas Sapitavicius: K♠Q♠

Neves had the goods and was in great shape for a double up, but when the flop came J♠9♣2♠, it was the ultimate sweat for the rockets against a combo draw. The 8♥ bricked off on the turn and the 3♣ completed the runout, dodging all the outs for Sapitavicius to double up Neves.

Patrick Beuter opened for 25,000 from early position and got only one call, from big blind Markkos Ladev.

On the flop of Q♥9♥K♣, both players checked to see the 2♠ on the turn. Ladev led out for 60,000 and Beuter called.

When the 6♣ completed the board, Ladev took a few moments, then announced he was all in (1,097,000) having Beuter well covered. Beuter burned two time chips, giving it a lot of thought, before tossing in a single chip to call off his last 183,000.

Patrick Beuter: Q♦J♣
Markkos Ladev: A♥4♥

"I've got an Ace," said Ladev softly as he rolled over his cards for ace high. Beuter's middle pair of queens were good to claim the pot and double up.
