Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Boris Angelov raised to 1,200,000 on the button before Derk van Luijk three-bet to 3,600,000. Angelov then moved all in for 10,775,000 and Van Luijk snap-called, creating the first all-in encounter of the heads-up match.

Boris Angelov: A♦Q♦ All in
Derk van Luijk: K♥K♣

"Ace," Angelov yelled out as he wandered over to the rail to await the flop. He didn't end up needing it as the flop came Q♥5♠Q♣ to give him trip queens.

The turn was the Q♠ and Angelov improved to quads, leaving Van Luijk paying off the double up once the 7♠ completed the board.
