Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Guillaume Nolet raised to 240,000 in the hijack and Atanas Malinov called in the cutoff. Elie Saad then moved all in for 2,530,000 in the small blind and Nolet folded, but Malinov called to put Saad at risk.
Elie Saad: J♣J♦ 
Atanas Malinov: A♠Q♣
Malinov took the lead on the Q♠9♦K♠ flop with a pair of queens, but Saad hit the J♠ on the turn to make a set. The K♣ river improved him to a full house and Saad doubled up.
