Alexander Ivarsson opened the action with a raise to 2,400 from early position, only to face a three-bet to 6,500 from Daniel Radakovic. After some thought, Ivarsson made the call, setting up a significant pot.

The flop came A♠8♣3♣, and Ivarsson checked to Radakovic, who continued for 3,500. Ivarsson called without hesitation.

On the 2♥ turn, Ivarsson checked again, and Radakovic ramped up the pressure with a bet of 8,500. Ivarsson took his time before announcing an all-in shove for roughly 30,000. Radakovic snap-called, flipping over A♣K♥ for top pair, while Ivarsson revealed K♣10♣, chasing a flush draw.

The river 2♦ didn’t bring the needed club, sending Ivarsson to the rail while Radakovic stacked a healthy pot to bolster his stack.
