Maciej Gut in the small blind three-bet to 22,500 and Sergiu Covrig called on the button, which led them to the 10♥4♠2♠ flop. The continuation bet by Gut was worth 20,000 for Covrig to call and that brought them to the 3♥ turn.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Christopher Nguyen opened to 6,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 18,000 by Dinesh Alt in the hijack. Diego Zeiter then shoved for his last 51,500 from the big blind, which got a fold from Nguyen and a reluctant call from Alt to put Zeiter at risk.

Diego Zeiter: A♥Q♦
Dinesh Alt: K♦10♣

"I was worried I was dominated!" Alt said.

It didn't matter either way, as the 6♥9♠Q♥2♣5♦ runout kept Zeiter best with a pair of queens and he doubled up.
